Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping all the ingredients. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try whole wheat or spinach tortillas instead. Gluten-free tortillas work well too if you have dietary restrictions.
Cooked Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor. You can also use grilled chicken breast or leftover chicken from previous meals. For a plant-based twist, try using shredded jackfruit or a veggie-based meat substitute.
Buffalo Wing Sauce: This is where the heat comes from! You can adjust the spice level by using a milder hot sauce. For those who prefer less heat, mix the hot sauce with a bit more melted butter or olive oil.
Dressings: Blue cheese dressing adds rich flavor, but ranch dressing is a great alternative for those who prefer a milder taste. You can also try Greek yogurt as a healthier substitute.
How Do I Roll a Wrap Without It Falling Apart?
Rolling a wrap can be tricky. Here are some tips to keep everything neatly inside:
- Don’t overfill! Keep the filling in a straight line down the center of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then start rolling from the edge with the filling. This helps keep everything secure.
- Wrap tightly, but don’t squeeze too hard; you want the wrap to stay together without breaking.
- Serve the wraps cut in half to make them easier to handle and eat.
With these tips, your Buffalo Chicken Wraps will be delicious and easy to enjoy!
