Buffalo Chicken Wrap

- October 23, 2022
When it comes to making a quick and delicious meal in minutes, you can't go wrong with a wrap. While there are so many ways to fill and fold a tortilla (and we've been known to use them in everything from a layered quesadilla cake to brunch-worthy tortilla French toast), this classic Buffalo chicken wrap is one that will absolutely keep you coming back.
Buffalo chicken wraps are stuffed with spicy Buffalo chicken and a crunchy blue cheese slaw made with carrots and cabbage. You'll make your own Buffalo sauce to coat the chicken, using oil, hot sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, and paprika. It's a healthy-yet-flavor-packed way to enjoy chicken.
This Buffalo chicken wrap is just as easy to customize as it is to make. Feel free to adjust the spices to add more or less heat, swap out the slaw for lettuce, the blue cheese sauce with ranch dressing, or use cauliflower or tofu instead of meat. For the mayo-haters out there, try Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise. If you're keto, there's no need to miss out. Instead, just substitute store-bought or homemade keto tortillas for the flour kind. No matter how you stuff it, this recipe comes together in under an hour, so making a quick lunch or dinner is basically…a wrap.

Method: In a small bowl, whisk blue cheese, mayonnaise, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add carrots and cabbage and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Reserve 1/4 cup sauce; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Add chicken to bowl with remaining hot sauce mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
