Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (453.6 grams)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce (120 milliliters)
Wrap and Filling Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing (120 milliliters)
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped (473 milliliters)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (120 milliliters)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (120 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 milliliters)
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, creating a sizzling cooking surface for seasoned chicken breasts.
- Coat chicken with paprika, garlic powder, and salt, then cook 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165F, ensuring thorough and safe preparation.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow a brief resting period to retain moisture before slicing into thin, uniform strips.
- Drench chicken strips completely in Franks Hot Sauce, guaranteeing each piece is thoroughly coated with tangy buffalo flavor.
- Arrange flour tortillas on a clean, flat workspace to create a smooth assembly station.
- Distribute blue cheese or ranch dressing centrally across each tortilla, creating a creamy base layer.
- Build a fresh vegetable foundation by layering crisp romaine lettuce, vibrant shredded carrots, and creamy avocado slices.
- Strategically place buffalo-coated chicken strips in the tortilla’s center, then generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese for added richness.
- Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking sides inward to create a secure, compact wrap that prevents ingredient spillage.
- Serve wraps immediately while warm, or wrap individually in foil for convenient, portable dining.
Notes
- Prep chicken evenly by pounding to uniform thickness, ensuring consistent cooking and preventing dry edges.
- Swap flour tortillas with low-carb alternatives like lettuce wraps or gluten-free tortillas for dietary modifications.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of traditional dressing to reduce calories and boost protein content while maintaining creamy texture.
- Experiment with different hot sauce brands to customize spice levels, from mild to extra-hot buffalo styles.
