Buffalo Chicken Folded Wrap (Printable Version)

Tender buffalo chicken, crisp vegetables, cream cheese, and ranch come together in a flavorful fold.

# Components:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (approx. 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 inches diameter)
05 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz)
06 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing (4 fl oz)
07 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2 oz)

→ Vegetables

08 - 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
09 - 1/2 cup diced celery (approx. 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 added flavor)
13 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce and melted butter until fully coated. Warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Place one tortilla flat and make a single cut from the center to the edge to create a radius cut.
03 - Divide the tortilla into four quarters mentally. Spread 1 tablespoon softened cream cheese on one quarter. Layer the buffalo chicken mixture on the adjacent quarter, followed by shredded cheddar cheese on the next. Finally, arrange shredded romaine, celery, tomato, and red onion on the fourth quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing evenly over the vegetable quarter. Add crumbled blue cheese or extra buffalo sauce if desired.
05 - Starting from the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself quarter by quarter, forming a layered triangle shape.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
07 - Repeat the assembly and cooking process with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, making weeknight dinners feel less like a chore and more like a small victory.
  • The contrast of spicy buffalo, creamy ranch, and crisp vegetables creates a flavor combination that doesn't get boring, even after the third wrap.
  • Everything from the pantry and fridge means fewer trips to the grocery store and less food waste.
02 -
  • If your tortilla tears when you try to fold it, you probably didn't soften the cream cheese enough—it should be almost spreadable, not cold and stiff.
  • The seam-side-down toast is the secret that holds everything together and prevents the wrap from unraveling when you bite into it.
  • Don't skip drying the tomato; wet tomatoes will make your wrap soggy within minutes.
03 -
  • Cold tortillas tear and crack; let them sit at room temperature for five minutes before assembling, or warm them gently in the skillet first.
  • The cream cheese acts as both flavor and adhesive—don't skip it, and make sure it's genuinely soft before you try to spread it.
