Buffalo Chicken Wrap
Description
The Buffalo Chicken Wrap starts with chicken breast cut into thin strips and marinated in a mixture of olive oil, Frank's hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt, which imparts a spicy, slightly smoky flavor. The marinated chicken is cooked in a skillet until fully done and slightly caramelized, locking in the heat and moisture.
The wrap layers include a soft flour tortilla spread with blue cheese or ranch dressing, which adds creaminess and cools the heat from the chicken. Fresh romaine lettuce, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese contribute crunch, richness, and freshness, creating textural and flavor contrast.
The wraps are rolled tightly, making them convenient for meals on the go or quick lunches. Optional sides like additional hot sauce or dressing provide customization. The combination of ingredients captures classic Buffalo flavors in a portable format.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup hot sauce Frank's brand
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Slice chicken breast into several long, thin strips.
