Buffalo chicken is one of my favorite foods of all time, and this Buffalo chicken wrap is my latest lunchtime obsession. Chicken breast marinated in Buffalo sauce is rolled into flour tortillas with ranch dressing, lettuce, celery, avocado, and cheese to make these tasty wraps. They take an hour from start to finish, but that includes marinating and cooking the chicken, and the recipe makes enough to feed me all week long!
If you love Buffalo wings as much as I do, you’re gonna love these Buffalo chicken wraps. They’re packed with juicy chicken marinated in Buffalo sauce, creamy ranch (or blue cheese!), and crisp lettuce.
What’s in This Buffalo Chicken Wrap Recipe?
- Chicken: I like lean boneless, skinless chicken breasts best, but thighs also work.
- Buffalo Sauce: I like to make homemade Buffalo sauce, but store-bought works in a pinch.
- Tortillas: I like flour tortillas for their pliability, but cassava or cauliflower wraps also work well.
- Dressing: Smear these wraps with creamy ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing to help cut the spice!
- Lettuce: Use something crunchy, like Romaine or iceberg.
- Celery: Adds an extra crunchy element I love.
- Avocado: Adds a bit of creaminess and extra fat to keep me full.
- Cheese: I love Colby Jack, but cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella would also work.
Tips for Success
- I highly, highly recommend making the homemade Buffalo sauce linked in the recipe for the best flavor. And don’t forget to save some extra dressing for dipping!
- This Buffalo chicken wrap recipe is a great jumping-off point for customization. For fully loaded wraps, add some sliced red onions, coleslaw, and pickles.
- Or try adding extra veggies, like sweet corn and diced tomatoes, for a bit of southwestern flare.
How to Store and Reheat

Serving Suggestions
There’s nothing better than an easy Buffalo chicken wrap with a side of sweet potato fries! The sweetness of the fries helps counteract the spicy chicken, and it makes me feel like I’m being healthy (even if I’m not)!
