Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Ingredients:
- 1 rotisserie chicken ($5 from Sam’s Club or similar)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 4 oz cream cheese (optional, or use shredded cheese)
- ¼ to ½ cup ranch dressing (adjust to taste)
- Tortillas (for wrapping)
- Garlic butter (optional, for brushing the tortillas)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Shred the meat from the rotisserie chicken, removing the skin and bones. You’ll want bite-sized, shredded pieces for the wraps. Set aside in a large bowl.
- Mix the Buffalo Filling:
- In the same bowl, add your buffalo sauce to the shredded chicken. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice level; start with ½ cup, and add more if you prefer a spicier wrap.
- If you’re using cream cheese, add it now (softened so it blends easily). Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted into the buffalo sauce and chicken. If using shredded cheese instead, add 1 cup of your preferred cheese and mix well.
- Stir in ranch dressing to taste, starting with ¼ cup and adding more as needed to get a creamy consistency.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly between the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each tortilla.
- If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top of the buffalo chicken mixture.
- Optional: Add Garlic Butter:
- Melt some butter (about 2-3 tablespoons) and stir in ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tortillas for extra flavor.
- Roll the Wraps:
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Make sure the ends are tucked in to keep the filling secure.
- Serve:
- Serve your buffalo chicken wraps with a side of fries and broccoli (or any side dishes you prefer).
Substitutions and Variations:
- Cheese options: If you’re not using cream cheese, shredded cheddar, monterey jack, or mozzarella work great too.
- Toppings: Feel free to add lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or avocado inside the wraps for extra crunch and freshness.
- Healthier option: Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas, and swap ranch dressing for Greek yogurt mixed with a little ranch seasoning.
This meal is simple, quick, and can be customized with different cheeses and levels of spiciness, making it perfect for a busy weeknight! 😋
