Quick Facts

  • Yield: Serves 4 (makes about 12 mini wraps)
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover works great)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 small tortillas or mini wraps (about 6-inch size)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for warming tortillas)

For the Sauce / Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
  • Extra chopped celery or green onions (optional garnish)

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by tossing your shredded chicken with **buffalo sauce** in a bowl until every bite is coated in that spicy goodness. If you want it milder, add sauce gradually—it’s easier than trying to fix it if it’s too hot!

Step 2:

Warm the tortillas quickly in a skillet over medium heat with a little **olive oil or butter**, about 20 seconds per side. This makes them soft and flexible, perfect for rolling without cracking.

Step 3:

Lay out your warm tortillas and sprinkle a little **cheese** on each. Then, evenly distribute the buffalo chicken on top, followed by the chopped celery and green onions for crunch and fresh flavor.

Step 4:

Roll each tortilla up tightly to create a mini wrap. If you want them extra secure, you can pop them back in the warm skillet seam-side down for about 1 minute to seal and melt the cheese just a bit.

Step 5:

Slice each wrap in half or into bite-sized pieces, whichever you prefer. Place them on a pretty platter and add a small bowl of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping on the side.

Step 6:

Serve immediately while warm and melty! If you’re making ahead, keep wraps wrapped in foil and warm briefly in a 350°F oven before serving.

Variations & Tips

  • Swap rotisserie chicken for shredded turkey for a fun twist.
  • Use Greek yogurt mixed with buffalo sauce for a tangier, creamy filling.
  • Try adding shredded carrots or diced cucumber for extra freshness.
  • If you love heat, toss in a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce to the buffalo sauce mix.
  • For a crispy exterior, lightly pan-fry the wrapped tortillas in a skillet with a bit of oil until golden brown.

How I Like to Serve It

These mini buffalo wraps are my go-to for casual get-togethers or that midweek craving for spicy comfort food. They’re perfect for game days, casual birthday parties, or even a quick family dinner paired with celery sticks and carrot fries. Keep some ranch handy because that dip? It’s a total game-winning sidekick.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep tortillas from getting soggy.
  • Use cooked chicken that’s already seasoned or plain—the buffalo sauce will pack all the flavor!

Closing: These mini buffalo chicken wraps are a spicy, cheesy, no-fuss win every single time—trust me, they’ll disappear fast!
