Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Cooked chicken breast, shredded Rotisserie or poached: ~26 g protein per 3 oz serving
  • ½ cup Frank’s RedHot Original Delivers the classic Buffalo flavor
  • 4 Tbsp Unsalted butter Whisk with hot sauce for authentic Buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional) Adds depth to homemade sauce
  • ¼ tsp Garlic powder Subtle savory boost
  • 4 rounds 10-inch flour tortillas Mission “Burrito” size holds fillings without tearing
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded Crunch & freshness
  • ½ cup Carrot, julienned Color & crunch
  • ½ cup Celery sticks, thinly sliced Classic Buffalo pairing
  • ¼ cup Crumbled blue cheese Tangy counterpoint (swap cheddar if preferred)
  • 4 Tbsp Hidden Valley Ranch dressing ~129 kcal per 2 Tbsp; cools the heat (1 Tbsp per wrap)
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped Bright garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the chicken.

  • Slice 2 large boneless breasts into thin strips and sauté in a non-stick skillet with a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 4–5 minutes per side.

Rest and shred.

  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a board, let it rest 5 minutes to keep juices in, then shred with two forks (or a stand-mixer paddle for big batches).
  • Make classic Buffalo sauce.
  • In a small saucepan melt 4 Tbsp unsalted butter; whisk in ½ cup Frank’s RedHot for the traditional 1 : 1 ratio that coats meat without overpowering it.

Season the sauce.

  • Stir in ¼ tsp garlic powder and a dash of Worcestershire for extra depth, then simmer 2 minutes so the emulsion thickens.

Toss chicken in sauce.

  • Place the warm shredded chicken in a bowl; pour the hot Buffalo sauce over top and turn with tongs until every strand is bright orange.

Prep the fillings.

  • While the sauce soaks in, shred 1 cup romaine, julienne ½ cup carrots, thin-slice ½ cup celery and crumble ¼ cup blue cheese—classic veggies that balance heat and add crunch.

Warm the tortillas.

  • Heat four 10-inch Mission flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave 15 seconds; this prevents cracking when you roll.

Layer the wrap.

  • Spread 1 Tbsp ranch down the center of each tortilla, add ¾ cup sauced chicken, then top with lettuce, carrots, celery and a sprinkle of blue cheese.

Fold burrito-style.

  • Fold the left and right edges inward, pull the bottom edge over the filling, then roll forward tightly to seal—just like wrapping a burrito.

Serve or store.

  • Slice on the bias and serve immediately, or wrap each burrito in foil and refrigerate up to 4 days; reheat in a skillet 2 minutes per side to revive the tortilla’s texture.

Optional Crunch-Factor Upgrade

  • Bread chicken strips, spritz with oil and air-fry at 400 °F for 5–6 minutes per side for an ultra-crispy variation.
