Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
Cheese and Sauce:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Wrapping and Extras:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by shredding cooked chicken thoroughly into uniform pieces, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Generously coat the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, mixing to guarantee complete and even coverage.
- Warm tortillas slightly to enhance flexibility for wrapping.
- Position tortilla flat and centrally distribute buffalo-coated chicken, leaving strategic margins for seamless folding.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over chicken, creating a melty foundation.
- Optional: Add crisp lettuce and fresh tomato slices for textural contrast.
- Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing across filling for additional flavor complexity.
- Fold bottom tortilla edge upward, then carefully tuck sides inward while rolling tightly to secure ingredients.
- Heat olive oil in skillet to medium temperature (approximately 350°F).
- Carefully place wrapped tortillas seam-side down, allowing 3-4 minutes per side to achieve golden-brown crispiness.
- Transfer wraps to paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Slice diagonally for elegant presentation and serve immediately with complementary dipping sauce.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity, using mild or hot varieties to suit different spice tolerances.
- Prepare chicken ahead of time and store in refrigerator for quick weeknight meal assembly, maintaining crispy wrap texture.
- Use gluten-free tortillas and dairy-free cheese alternatives to create dietary-friendly versions without compromising flavor profile.
- Experiment with protein substitutions like pulled jackfruit or tofu for vegetarian/vegan adaptations while preserving crispy wrap technique.
