A wrap is an excellent choice for preparing a quick and delicious meal in minutes. While there are numerous ways to stuff and fold a tortilla (and we’ve used them in anything from a stacked quesadilla cake to brunch-worthy tortilla French toast), this classic Buffalo chicken wrap will keep you going back for more.
Buffalo chicken wraps are filled with spicy Buffalo chicken and a crunchy blue cheese slaw with carrots and cabbage. To coat the chicken, you’ll make your own Buffalo sauce with oil, hot sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, and paprika. It’s a flavorful and healthful way to eat chicken.
This Buffalo chicken wrap is as simple to make as it is to personalize. Adjust the seasonings to add more or less heat, replace the slaw with lettuce, replace the blue cheese sauce with ranch dressing, or use cauliflower or tofu for the pork. For those who despise mayonnaise, substitute Greek yogurt. There’s no need to skip out if you’re on a keto diet. Instead of flour tortillas, use store-bought or homemade keto tortillas. No matter how you stuff it, this recipe comes ready in under an hour, making it ideal for a quick lunch or dinner.
