Buffalo Chicken Folded Tortilla (Print View)

Tender buffalo chicken with cheddar, fresh veggies, and creamy dressing folded in a warm tortilla.

# Components:

→ 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 (2.1 oz)
06 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing (4 fl oz)
07 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2.1 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
13 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and melted butter in a mixing bowl until chicken is evenly coated. Warm the mixture over medium heat in a skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Lay one flour tortilla flat. Make a single cut from the center towards the edge, creating a radius cut.
03 - Visualize the tortilla divided into four quarters. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on the first quarter. Layer the buffalo chicken on the second; sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the third; arrange romaine lettuce, diced celery, tomato, and red onion on the fourth quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetable quarter. Optionally, add crumbled blue cheese or extra buffalo sauce as desired.
05 - Starting at the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself quarter by quarter, forming 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 process with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve the wraps warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in 25 minutes, making weeknight dinners feel less rushed and more intentional.
  • The buffalo kick paired with creamy ranch and melted cheese hits every craving at once.
  • You can customize every section, so picky eaters can actually participate in their own meal.
02 -
  • The cream cheese is not just a topping—it's structural glue that prevents your filling from sliding as you fold and cook, so don't skip it or use too little.
  • Warming the chicken before assembly keeps everything hot on the inside while the tortilla gets its crispy edges, but cold chicken means a damp, sad wrap no matter how well you fold.
03 -
  • Softening the cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds makes it spread without tearing the tortilla and helps everything stick together during the fold.
  • A non-stick skillet over medium heat is non-negotiable—high heat will char the outside before warming the inside, and a regular skillet tends to stick no matter how much oil you use.
