Delicious, light lunch idea that’s quick and easy to make. This Buffalo Chicken wrap is made with chicken cooked in buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles and veggies. Oh, and don’t forget the homemade ranch dressing.
Buffalo Chicken Wrap
I just love buffalo chicken anything. I always try to make it in different ways…salads, nachos, sandwiches..etc. The combination of wing sauce, blue cheese crumbles and ranch dressing is just the best. This chicken wrap is something I make for myself for lunch quite often. It’s very simple, light and satisfying to my taste buds and tummy alike.
I’ve started to make my own ranch dressing as well and it’s not just a much better tasting option, it’s also convenient to make a small batch of dressing right wen you need it. Once you starting many your own, you can’t turn back because no store-bought dressing will taste as good.
How to make buffalo chicken wrap:
For Ranch: Simply whisk all ingredients together until completely smooth.
You can prepare it ahead of time and store in in the refrigerator, in a jar with a lid. You can keep it for 5-7 days.
For the wrap: Cook chicken tenders in buffalo wing sauce until completely cooked, about 15-17 minutes. (Time will depend of size of tenders.)
If your tortillas are cold then warm them up in a microwave for about 5-7 second to bring to room temperature. Don’t try to wrap a cold tortilla because there is a high chance it will crack.
Chop cooked chicken and place it back into the skillet where you cooked it. Mix chicken with the sauce left in the pan. Salt to taste.
Lay tortillas flat. Divide lettuce, tomatoes, celery, blue cheese crumbles, and chopped chicken between the two tortillas.
Drizzle ranch dressing over the top.
Roll carefully, tucking in sides as you roll. Secure with toothpicks and cut in half.

And is it really THAT easy to make buttermilk ranch? I just love ranch. I would swim in it, like Scrooge McDuck through his piles of money.
Is it just me?

Thank you so much, Latisha!
Carli says
Can this be made and then chilled to be packed in a lunch box? My husband is a delivery drive and doesn’t usually have time to stop for lunch, these would be great if they can be served cold
lyuba says
Hi Carli! If your husband doesn’t normally mind cold chicken, then I’m sure it will be a great option for him. Just in case he doesn’t like cold chicken breast, you can always substitute deli sliced chicken and add a little buffalo sauce. You can wrap it in some parchment paper and pack it in a brown bag for him.
I hope he enjoys it! 🙂

Delicious recipe! I poached the chicken in water and shredded it in my stand mixer with buffalo sauce, dried parsley, a little butter and ranch! I used jalapeno cheddar wraps!
lyuba says
Oh yum! I love the addition of jalapeno cheddar wraps. Thank you, Crissy!
