Healthy Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wraps
Description
The Healthy Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wraps start with cubed chicken breast seasoned simply with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, cooked until no longer pink, then tossed in buffalo sauce for a spicy kick. The wraps are layered with fresh, crunchy vegetables including romaine, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, celery, and creamy cubes of avocado. Drizzled with Caesar dressing, the ingredients are rolled into whole-wheat tortillas for a portable and satisfying meal.
The combination of the spicy buffalo chicken and the cool, crisp vegetables creates a refreshing balance, while the creamy dressing and optional cheese add depth. These wraps work well for packed lunches, picnics, or casual dinners where you want both flavor and nutritional variety.
For convenience, the ingredients can be stored separately and assembled just before eating to maintain freshness, especially for the vegetables and avocado.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast around 3 breasts, skinless & cubed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ cup buffalo sauce I love New Primal Medium Buffalo Sauce
- 4 whole-wheat tortilla large
- 2 cups romaine lettuce roughly chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ½ cup carrot shredded
- 1 cup celery diced, sliced
- 1 avocado cubed
- 6 tablespoon caesar dressing I love Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing Creamy Caesar
- cheddar cheese red onion, blue cheese, shredded, optional filling
Instructions
- Pat chicken cubes dry with a paper towel and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes, space them out, and cook for 3 minutes.
- Flip chicken and cook for an additional 3 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove chicken from heat and place into a clean mixing bowl. Add in buffalo sauce and toss to coat well.
- Lay wraps or tortillas on a clean flat surface and divide chicken evenly into each.
- Top the chicken with lettuce, tomatoes, shredded carrot, celery, and avocado.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoon of Ceasar dressing on top of each wrap + extra buffalo sauce from the bowl.
- Fold into a burrito shape by wrapping the sides toward the middle and rolling up tightly.
- Cut in half and enjoy!
Notes
- Use pre-shredded carrots to save preparation time or shred fresh carrots with a box grater for better texture.
- Store the chicken, vegetables, and tortillas separately to keep ingredients fresh before assembling the wraps.
- Add extra buffalo sauce or cheese as desired for more heat or creaminess.
