Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 4
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust for heat preference)
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine for crunch)
• ¼ cup diced tomatoes (optional, for freshness)

For the Sauce / Garnish:

• ½ cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• Optional: sliced green onions or chopped cilantro

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by tossing your cooked chicken in the buffalo wing sauce until every bite is coated evenly with that vibrant orange heat. If you want milder flavor, start with less sauce—you can always add more!

Step 2:

Warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds until flexible and soft—this helps prevent any cracking when you wrap them up.

Step 3:

Lay the warm tortilla flat, then spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing down the center as the creamy base.

Step 4:

Layer on the buffalo chicken, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. The cheese melts beautifully against the warm chicken, adding gooey richness.

Step 5:

Add the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a fresh crunch and a burst of color.

Step 6:

Roll it up tight, folding in the sides as you go to keep everything cozy inside. Give it a gentle press, then slice in half if you like. Serve immediately so the wrap is warm and melty!

Variations & Tips

• Swap out cheddar for pepper jack cheese for an extra spicy kick.
• Use grilled chicken breasts and add some smoky grilled corn for summer vibes.
• Try a whole wheat tortilla for a nuttier flavor and extra fiber.
• For a dairy-free option, choose a dairy-free ranch and skip the cheese.
• If you like it saucier, drizzle extra ranch after wrapping or serve it on the side for dipping.
• Leftover chicken? You can bake the assembled wraps at 350°F for 10 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the tortilla.

How I Like to Serve It

These wraps are perfect for casual weeknight dinners, game day snacking, or even packed lunches. Pair them with crunchy carrot sticks or a light cucumber salad for freshness. In cooler months, a warm bowl of tomato soup alongside a buffalo chicken ranch wrap feels like a comforting hug on a plate!

Notes

• Store leftover wrap ingredients separately to avoid sogginess; wraps taste best fresh.
• Reheat cooked chicken gently in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel to keep moist.

Closing: This Buffalo Chicken Ranch Wrap is a speedy, crowd-pleasing dinner that always hits the spot with its perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and crunchy textures—no fuss, just flavor!
