Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked shredded chicken to save time.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before wrapping so they’re more pliable and don’t tear.
- Spread the blue cheese dressing on the tortilla first to create a moisture barrier and prevent sogginess.
- Layer ingredients in the center and fold tightly like a burrito for easy eating.
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced celery or shredded carrots inside.
- Adjust buffalo sauce to taste—start mild and add more for extra heat.
Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Blue Cheese
Spicy buffalo chicken, cool blue cheese & fresh veggies in a soft tortilla—bold, delicious wrap perfection!
Ingredients
- ½ cup blue cheese dressing
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or similar)
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or poached breast)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
- Optional: sliced green onions, shredded carrots
Instructions
- Prep the buffalo chicken! In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until every piece is beautifully coated and spicy.
- Warm the tortillas! Place each tortilla in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm in a dry skillet—this makes them soft and easy to wrap.
- Spread the magic! Lay a tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons of blue cheese dressing evenly across the center, leaving a border around the edges.
- Layer the lettuce! Place a generous handful of shredded lettuce in the center—this creates a cool, crisp base.
- Pile on the chicken! Spoon about ¾ cup of the buffalo chicken mixture right on top of the lettuce.
- Add the veggies! Arrange tomato slices and celery slices over the chicken for freshness and crunch.
- Cheese it up! Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese (if using) for extra tangy, creamy goodness.
- Fold like a pro! Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Slice and serve! Cut the wrap in half diagonally for that perfect presentation and easy eating.
- Dig in and enjoy! Serve immediately while the wrap is fresh and the flavors are at their peak—take that first incredible bite and savor every spicy, creamy, crunchy moment!
Notes
- Adjust buffalo sauce to your preferred heat level—start with less and add more.
- For extra crispiness, lightly grill the wrapped tortilla in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
- This wrap is naturally high in protein and can be made gluten-free with the right tortilla.

Ingredients Notes
- Shredded cooked chicken: Lean, high-protein base—rotisserie or poached chicken breast works best for tenderness and flavor.
- Buffalo sauce: Classic spicy-tangy flavor—Frank’s RedHot is traditional; choose low-sodium if watching salt.
- Blue cheese dressing: Creamy, tangy counterpart to the heat—use full-fat for richness or light version for fewer calories.
- Flour tortillas: Soft and flexible—choose large burrito-size for easy wrapping and hearty portions.
- Fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomato, celery): Add crunch, freshness, and nutrients—romaine or iceberg lettuce works best for crispness.
- Optional extras: Shredded cheddar or crumbled blue cheese for extra flavor and creaminess.
Variations and Substitutions
- Healthier version: Use grilled chicken breast, whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas, and light blue cheese dressing.
- Spicier wrap: Add sliced jalapeños, hot sauce drizzle, or cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
- Vegetarian version: Swap chicken for crispy buffalo cauliflower or chickpeas.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free tortillas and ensure buffalo sauce is GF.
- Extra veggies: Add shredded carrots, red onion, or avocado for more nutrients and creaminess.
- Ranch twist: Swap blue cheese dressing for ranch if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Breakfast style: Add a scrambled egg or breakfast sausage for a morning version.
Storage Options
Best enjoyed fresh while the tortilla is soft and veggies are crisp. If needed, wrap tightly in foil or parchment and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. For longer storage, keep components separate (chicken, veggies, dressing) in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Assemble just before eating to prevent soggy tortillas.
