Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (use your favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 0%)
  • 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large whole-wheat or high-protein tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine or butter lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, grated or matchsticks
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese or feta (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Make the buffalo sauce mix: In a bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of pepper. Taste and add a little salt if needed.
  2. Add the chicken: Fold the shredded or diced chicken into the sauce until evenly coated. It should be creamy but not soupy.
  3. Prep the veggies: Shred the lettuce, chop the celery, grate the carrots, and slice the red onion. Keep them dry to avoid soggy wraps.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side or microwave under a damp paper towel for 10–20 seconds. Warm wraps are more flexible and less likely to tear.
  5. Layer the wrap: Place a tortilla on a board. Add a bed of lettuce, then spoon on a quarter of the buffalo chicken. Top with celery, carrots, and onion. Sprinkle a little blue cheese or feta if you like, plus herbs.
  6. Wrap it up: Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom. If serving later, wrap in parchment or foil for a clean hold.
  7. Optional crisp: For a warm, toasty finish, lightly sear the rolled wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side.
  8. Serve: Slice in half and serve with extra buffalo sauce or a drizzle of light ranch or Greek yogurt dressing.
