Wraps are the lunch MVP. This one wears hot sauce like a badge of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buffalo chicken. Creamy dressing. Crunchy veggies. All rolled tight. Use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken. Dinner tonight? Lunch tomorrow. Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 2 (easily doubles).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch or burrito size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup buffalo sauce (Franks + butter = homemade)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup diced celery (for crunch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup diced red onion (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Sauce the Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until fully coated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Microwave tortillas for 15 seconds (makes them pliable, no cracking).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Assemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Spread ranch or blue cheese down the center of each tortilla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Top with buffalo chicken, lettuce, celery, onion, and cheese (if using).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Roll It Tight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Fold in the sides. Roll from bottom up, keeping it snug.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cut in half on a diagonal (looks fancy, tastes feral).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Eat immediately. Dunk in extra ranch or blue cheese if you’re a champion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes | Cook Time:<\/strong> 0 minutes (5 if heating chicken) | Total Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yield:<\/strong> 2 wraps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> So Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Best Fresh:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wraps get soggy fast. Assemble just before eating for maximum crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meal Prep Style:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Store components separately in the fridge for 3 days. Chicken, sauce, toppings, tortillas. Assemble when hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wrap tightly in foil if taking to work. Slice it after unwrapping, not before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
