Spicy Creamy Buffalo Chicken Wrap (Printable)

Tender buffalo chicken layered with crisp vegetables, cheddar, and ranch in a warm folded tortilla wrap.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (8.8 oz)
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (4 fl oz)
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Wraps & Dairy

04 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch diameter)
05 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2.1 oz)
06 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing (4 fl oz)
07 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2.1 oz)

→ Vegetables

08 - 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
09 - 1/2 cup diced celery (about 1 stalk)
10 - 1/2 cup diced tomato
11 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

→ Optional

12 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (for extra flavor)
13 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly coated. Warm mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Place one tortilla flat and make a single cut from the center to the edge, creating a radius cut.
03 - Visualize the tortilla divided into four quarters. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on the first quarter. Layer buffalo chicken on the second quarter. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the third quarter. Arrange lettuce, celery, tomato, and red onion on the fourth quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetable quarter. Optionally, add crumbled blue cheese or extra buffalo sauce.
05 - Starting from the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself, moving quarter by quarter, forming a layered triangular wrap.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and warmed through.
07 - Repeat assembly and cooking steps with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve wraps warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, but tastes like you spent half the day on it.
  • The fold-and-pan method keeps everything inside, so you get crispy edges and creamy centers in every bite.
  • Buffalo and ranch is comfort food, but the fresh vegetables keep it feeling light.
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the chicken—cold chicken wrapped up doesn't have the same appeal, and it misses that moment when the heat helps the flavors meld.
  • The fold matters more than it seems; a clean fold keeps everything from spilling out, and seam-side down means the wrap seals itself in the pan.
  • Softening the cream cheese first is the difference between a smooth spread and chunks that won't cooperate.
03 -
  • Room-temperature chicken folds better than cold, and the pan-frying finishes the cooking without overcooking the filling.
  • A non-stick skillet is your friend here—regular pans can stick and tear your beautiful fold, and cast iron is beautiful but overkill for this.
