Ingredients List
For the Buffalo Chicken:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast (about 2 medium chicken breasts)
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (low-sugar or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps:
- 4 whole wheat or low-carb tortillas (8-inch size)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (for a healthier “ranch” sauce)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (for added flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Buffalo Chicken
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken breast and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to warm through.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
- Pour in the buffalo sauce and stir until the chicken is coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto each tortilla, evenly dividing it between the 4 wraps.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top of the chicken for a creamy, “ranch” flavor (you can also use a store-bought low-fat ranch dressing).
- Optionally, sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra flavor.
Step 3: Fold and Serve
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly, creating a neat, folded wrap.
- Optional: Toast the wraps in a pan or grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce on the side for dipping, or refrigerate for meal prep.
