Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded
- 0.5 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 4–6 Large Tortillas, soft
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Carrot, shredded
- 0.25 cup Blue Cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise or Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp Ranch Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Lime Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Warm 2 cups of pre-cooked shredded chicken in a small pan until just heated through, then toss with 0.5 cup buffalo sauce until well coated and fragrant.
- Make Carrot Slaw: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded carrots with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper; stir well until evenly dressed and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Whisk Blue Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese, and 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning; stir until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of milk if too thick.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out tortillas, spread a thin layer of the blue drizzle, then add a handful of shredded lettuce, a generous portion of the buffalo chicken, and some carrot slaw.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom; slice in half diagonally for easy eating and enjoy immediately.
Notes
To save time, use a rotisserie chicken or prepare the chicken and slaw ahead. Avoid overfilling the wrap to prevent messiness. Briefly warm tortillas in a dry skillet for flexibility and to prevent tearing. Apply the blue drizzle sparingly for flavor without making the wrap wet.
