Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: I like using large flour tortillas for their flexibility and taste. If you want a healthier option, you can use whole wheat or spinach tortillas. They add a nice flavor and more nutrients!
Cooked Chicken: The chicken can be leftover grilled chicken or a rotisserie chicken. For a vegetarian option, try using cooked chickpeas or even cauliflower tossed in buffalo sauce!
Buffalo Wing Sauce: Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your spice tolerance. If you don’t have buffalo sauce, a mix of hot sauce and melted butter works too. Just keep it tasty!
Romaine Lettuce: Romaine adds crunch, but you can use any leafy greens you have, like spinach or kale. If you want a fun twist, add coleslaw mix for added crunch!
Caesar Dressing: You can substitute with ranch dressing if you prefer. It gives a different flavor profile but it’s equally delicious!
How Do I Get My Chicken to Be Extra Flavorful?
To make sure your chicken is packed with flavor, coat it in buffalo sauce thoroughly! If you’re starting with plain chicken, consider marinating it in a mix of buffalo sauce and Greek yogurt for a couple of hours. This not only adds flavor but also keeps the chicken moist.
- Use crispy or grilled chicken for the best texture.
- Heat the chicken in a skillet briefly after coating in sauce to enhance the flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Start by coating the cooked chicken pieces with buffalo wing sauce until they are well covered. You can use more or less sauce depending on how spicy you like it. Once seasoned, set the chicken aside.
2. Dress the Lettuce:
In a mixing bowl, take your chopped Romaine lettuce and toss it with Caesar dressing until every leaf is nicely coated. This adds the creamy flavor that balances out the spiciness of the buffalo sauce.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay the large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Next, evenly distribute the buffalo chicken over the center of each tortilla.
4. Add the Lettuce Topping:
On top of the chicken, add the dressed Romaine lettuce. This layer should be generous to give you that crunchy texture with every bite.
5. Sprinkle the Cheeses:
Now, sprinkle some shredded Parmesan cheese and, if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some blue cheese crumbles for an extra savory kick.
6. Season to Taste:
Lightly season your fillings with salt and pepper if you desire, but remember the buffalo sauce and cheese may already provide enough flavor!
7. Roll it Up!
Carefully roll the tortilla up, starting from the bottom and folding in the sides as you go to keep all the delicious filling inside. Make sure it’s tight but not too tight to squish everything out.
8. Slice and Serve:
Once rolled, cut the wraps in half diagonally. This makes them easier to handle and perfect for sharing. Serve immediately for a fresh, crisp bite!
