Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

You can use pre-cooked chicken or cook the meat from scratch: I’m making the chicken breasts from scratch, but 3 cups of pre-cooked buffalo chicken or about 1 lb of different types of leftover chicken will work in this recipe.
For rotisserie chicken: Shred the meat and toss it in the homemade buffalo sauce.
To make a low-carb wrap: Use your favorite low-carb tortilla.
Toast the closed wrap: After closing the wrap, toast it again on both sides for additional browning.

Variations

A great thing about this recipe is that you can really make it your own. Here are some other options:

For extra spicy flavors: add a bit of ghost pepper spice or cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
Make buffalo ranch sauce: You can simply add your own homemade ranch seasoning or a ranch seasoning from the grocery store to the buffalo sauce to taste.
Add shredded cheese: I prefer a lot of blue cheese flavor so I do not add other cheese. But, shredded colby jack cheese or cheddar cheese would also work well in this wrap.

Storage & Leftovers

You can store your leftover buffalo chicken wraps in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil for the next day.

If you are making these as part of meal prep, I recommend that you store each of the components separately.
