A quick and flavorful Buffalo Chicken Wrap recipe that combines tender chicken tenders tossed in a spicy buffalo sauce, fresh romaine lettuce, shredded mozzarella, and carrots, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Perfect for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner in under 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce and Chicken

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup hot sauce (Frank’s recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound chicken tenders

Wrap Fillings

  • 4 large 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • Ranch dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce and marinate the chicken: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt, then whisk until fully combined. Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly with the sauce mixture. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or for deeper flavor, refrigerate and marinate up to 24 hours.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and the remaining sauce from the bowl to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, coating the chicken pieces.
  3. Warm the tortillas: While the chicken cooks, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until soft and pliable, making wrapping easier.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Divide the chopped romaine lettuce, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded carrots, buffalo chicken along with any pan sauce evenly among the warmed tortillas. Drizzle with ranch dressing according to your taste.
  5. Wrap and serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken longer enhances flavor but is optional for faster preparation.
  • Use gloves or wash hands thoroughly when handling hot sauce to avoid irritation.
  • Substitute mozzarella cheese with cheddar or blue cheese for different flavor profiles.
  • Ranch dressing can be replaced with blue cheese dressing for a more traditional buffalo taste.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
