# Ingredient list:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (approximately 8.8 oz)
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (4 fl oz)
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Wraps & Dairy

04 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches diameter)
05 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz)
06 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing (4 fl oz)
07 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2 oz)

→ Vegetables

08 - 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
09 - 1/2 cup diced celery (about 1 stalk)
10 - 1/2 cup diced tomato
11 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

→ Optional

12 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (for additional flavor)
13 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Place one tortilla flat and make a single cut from the center to the edge, creating a radius cut.
03 - Divide the tortilla visually into four quarters. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on one quarter. Layer the buffalo chicken mixture on the adjacent quarter. Place shredded cheddar cheese on the next quarter. Arrange romaine lettuce, celery, tomato, and red onion on the final quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetable section. Optionally, add crumbled blue cheese or extra buffalo sauce to taste.
05 - Starting from the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself quarter by quarter to form a layered triangular wrap.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
07 - Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining wraps. Serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means dinner can happen even on nights when you're exhausted.
  • The spicy-creamy-fresh combination hits every craving at once—no side dish necessary.
  • You can prep all the components ahead and assemble wraps when you're actually hungry, making it perfect for meal prep or feeding a crowd.
02 -
  • The single cut in the tortilla is absolutely essential—without it, you'll struggle to fold neatly, and everything inside shifts around.
  • Don't skip the pan-searing step; it sounds like an extra step, but it's what gives the wrap its texture and makes it feel like actual food instead of just assembled ingredients.
03 -
  • Cold ingredients straight from the fridge make folding harder; let your cream cheese and dressing sit out for a few minutes so they spread more easily.
  • Keep a damp paper towel nearby while cooking—a single drop of spilled filling or sauce on your hands can make the next wrap harder to handle.
