Pro Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Cook chicken fully: Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe, tender results.
- Marinate if you can: Letting the chicken soak in buffalo sauce before cooking deepens the flavor.
- Add crunchy veggies: Celery, carrots, and lettuce help balance the spice.
- Wrap tight: Fold in the sides and roll snugly to keep fillings secure.
- Try grilling: For smoky flavor, grill the chicken instead of pan-frying.
Variations to Try
- Vegetarian: Replace chicken with buffalo-marinated chickpeas or tofu.
- Tortilla swaps: Use whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free wraps.
- Different proteins: Try shredded pork or beef with buffalo sauce.
- Sauce blends: Mix buffalo with honey or BBQ sauce for milder sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your wraps with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Add sides like coleslaw, sweet potato fries, or a crisp cucumber salad for a full meal. These wraps are great for casual family dinners, picnics, or quick lunches.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing to keep tortillas from getting soggy. Reheat chicken separately before assembling to maintain wrap texture.
