Quick & Easy Buffalo Chicken Wraps - Fed & Fit (2024)

Loaded with chicken, buffalo sauce, and cheese, these lunch wraps are delicious and perfect to meal prep for the week ahead!

I’m a buffalo gal – if there’s a buffalo something (sandwich, pizza, wings, etc.) on the menu, you can bet that I’ll order it. There’s just something about that signature spicy tang of buffalo sauce that makes my taste buds sing! Some of my other favorite buffalo recipes include Creamy Buffalo Chicken Casserole, Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, and Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wings.

These buffalo chicken wraps are the PERFECT make-ahead, healthy lunch option for you! Loaded with chicken, cheese, and (of course) buffalo sauce, these yummy wraps will have you excited about your midday meal.

Ingredients Needed

Keep things super easy by using a rotisserie chicken here! Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon of hot pepper sauce
• 4 flour tortillas
• ½ cup of shredded cheese
• 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
• Celery sticks, for serving
• Chips, for serving

What types of leftover chicken can I use for this buffalo chicken wrap?

If you’ve got leftover chicken on hand, feel free to skip the rotisserie chicken on the ingredient list and use what you have instead! ANY shredded leftover chicken will do (shredded thighs, breasts, etc.)

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

The process is super easy, making it perfect for meal prep! Here’s how you’ll make 4 servings of buffalo chicken wraps:

1. Combine the chicken, mayo, and hot pepper sauce – first, add the shredded chicken, mayo, and hot pepper sauce to a medium-sized bowl, and stir to combine.
2. Lay out the tortillas – lay the tortillas out on a sheet pan, parchment paper, a large cutting board, or a clean counter.
3. Spoon the chicken mixture and add cheese – add about a ½ cup of the chicken mixture to the center of each tortilla. Then, top the chicken mixture with the shredded cheese (about 2 tablespoons per wrap).
4. Fold the tortillas – fold each tortilla lengthwise over the filling, then roll into a secure wrap.
5. Brown the wraps – add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat, and place the wraps seam side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is browned. Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
6. Cut and store – cut the wraps in half and store them in lunch containers alongside celery sticks (if desired).

Recipe Variations

Like the idea of a wrap but want to make it your own? Go for it! Here are a few of our favorite ideas:

• Use ranch (regular or spicy) instead of buffalo sauce – if buffalo sauce isn’t your thing, omit the hot pepper sauce and mayo and use your favorite ranch dressing instead. Cooked and crumbled bacon would be a really delicious addition here too!
• Skip the cheese – if you’re dairy-free (or want to keep this meal cheese-free for any reason), no prob! Just skip the cheese. Your wraps will still be every bit as tasty this way.
• Use gluten-free tortillas – gluten-free? No problem! We are too. Gluten-free flour tortillas are fairly accessible these days – we found GF Mission tortillas at our local grocery store.
• Pick a different side – feel free to sub any veggie or fruit in for the celery. You can also enjoy your wraps alongside pretzels, crackers, or chips if you’d like!

How to Store

Store your wraps in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Stored this way, they’ll be good for about 5 days.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap Sides

We love these buffalo chicken wraps alongside cold, crispy celery sticks, but if you’re not a fan of celery (or just have another veggie on hand already), feel free to sub it for ANY raw veggie or fruit that you love. Bell peppers and/or strawberries would be really delicious. If you are looking for a crunchier side option, pretzels, chips, or crackers would be great too.
