- ½ cup celery, diced Adds a nice crunch.
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded For that melty indulgence.
Instructions
Preparation
- If using raw chicken, grill or bake until fully cooked (165°F), then shred it using two forks. If you prefer, heat shredded rotisserie chicken in a pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, adjusting the amount to your spice preference. Toss until well-coated.
- While the chicken is heating, chop the lettuce, tomatoes, celery, and carrots. Arrange them on a platter for easy assembly.
- Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 10 seconds, making them pliable for wrapping.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, drizzle with ranch dressing, spoon a generous amount of buffalo chicken, and top with lettuce, tomatoes, celery, and carrots.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to secure all the delicious fillings inside.
Serving
- Cut in half and serve with extra buffalo sauce or ranch on the side for dipping. Enjoy the aroma as you take that first, satisfying bite!
Notes
For a healthier option, swap out regular tortillas for lettuce wraps. You can also use shredded turkey, tofu, or chickpeas for a vegetarian twist. To enhance flavors, consider adding smoked paprika to the buffalo sauce.
