Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wrap
Description
This wrap starts with cooked shredded chicken tossed with fresh diced vegetables, feta cheese, and buffalo sauce to create a spicy, tangy filling with added crunch from diced celery and carrots. Ranch dressing is spread on the wrap for a cooling, creamy base which balances the heat of the buffalo sauce.
To assemble, a layer of ranch is spread across the wrap's center, followed by the buffalo chicken mixture. Crushed tortilla chips add crunch and textural contrast. The wrap is folded into a hexagonal shape to encapsulate the filling, then a second tortilla is wrapped around it completely to seal.
The final step pan-fries the wrapped crunch wrap in butter until golden brown, crisping the outside and warming the filling throughout. This method keeps the wrap enclosed and melts the cheese slightly. The dish is a handheld meal combining spicy, creamy, and crunchy elements.
The size of the wrap and amount of filling should be balanced to keep the wrap closed during cooking and avoid overstuffing.
Ingredients
- 4 burrito wrap I used Joseph's Wraps linked in post above
- 1 ¼ cup chicken shredded
- ½ cup feta cheese fat free
- ½ cup celery diced
- ½ cup carrot diced
- ½ cup buffalo sauce more or less depending on desired spice level, 2 tablespoons
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- ¼ cup ranch dressing divided, light
- 10 tortilla chips
- 2 tbsp butter divided
Instructions
- Prepare the buffalo chicken mixture first. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked and shredded chicken, diced celery, diced carrots, and red onion.
- Sprinkle in feta cheese and then pour buffalo sauce into the bowl. Toss until everything is covered in buffalo sauce
- Now it's time to assemble the wraps. Place one wrap on a flat surface. Layer 2 tablespoons of ranch in a circle in the middle of the wrap. Add ¼-½ of the buffalo chicken mixture to the center. Then add 5-6 tortilla chips in a circular rotation (see pictures above for example).
- Fold the remaining sides of the wrap around the filling. The wrap will not be closed completely and it will be shaped like a hexagon.
- Then, place the unused wrap on top where the filling is still visible. Quickly flip your crunch wrap over, so the folds of the first tortilla are now face down.
- Then, wrap the new tortilla around the one filled. Your crunch wrap should now be completely enclosed.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and put a ½ tablespoon of butter onto it. Grill your Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wrap on each side, starting with the open folds face down to seal your wrap. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Prior to flipping the crunch wrap, add the other ½ tablespoon of butter. Butter is the key to a golden crisp on each side. Repeat the above steps for your second crunch wrap as well.
- Once grilled, cut in half and enjoy! Dunk into ranch, more buffalo sauce, or your other favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use a vegetable chopper to dice celery, carrots, and onions evenly and quickly for consistent texture.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo chicken filling according to tortilla size to avoid overfilling and ensure the wrap stays closed.
