Notes

You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken if you're rushed or don't have chicken at home. Follow the recipe exactly.
Make sure you use your favorite hot sauce as a base for the buffalo sauce, and then add the seasoning to it.
If you prefer using olive oil instead of melted butter, feel free to do so, although classically it's made with melted butter only.
Let the chicken sit in the buffao sauce for at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours to soak up the flavors.
When cooking the chicken, be sure to keep stirring until the chicken turns opaque and most of the sauce has cooked down. You should still end up with some sauce though.
Assemble the tortillas using your favorite toppings--it's truly versatile.
It's crucial to have our filling arranged along the center of the tortilla in order to easily fold the wrap.
Be sure to read how to fold the wrap above and fold it firmly.
Leftovers are great the next day. The wrap will keep in the fridge for 3 days max.
You can make the chicken mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 7 days. Assemble the wrap before serving.
The star is the chicken cooked in buffalo sauce. Other toppings are personal to your taste but we include celery, avocado, cheese, lettuce, green onions and carrots in a flour tortilla.
The beauty of buffalo sauce is the mellow buttery taste which comes from the melted butter that cuts down the spice along with some brown sugar. So overall it's not too spicy, it is quite balanced. If you are however on the look for something spicy, I can't recommend the Hot Honey Recipe enough!! And of course my grandpa's viral Hot Pepper Sauce.
As mentioned earlier, we love them BOTH cold and hot. Depends on the occasion, they are actually delicious eitherway!
While it is made of hot sauce, addition of melted butter and spices transforms the sauce into something else!
It's a blend of butter, tang, salty, spicy and sweet
