Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips or 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic granules
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Buffalo Sauce (Classic Style):

¼ cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (or similar hot sauce)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweet-heat balance)

For the Wrap Assembly:

4 large flour tortillas (1012 inch size)
2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican-blend cheese
¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Optional toppings: diced celery, cherry tomatoes, green onions, avocado slices

For Honey BBQ Variation:

¼ cup honey
1 cup barbecue sauce
Optional add-ins: coleslaw, crispy fried onions

For Garlic Parmesan Variation:

¾ cup garlic parmesan aioli
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season the chicken strips with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic granules, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.
  2. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes (up to 6 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
  3. Cook the chicken on a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until no longer pink, or bake it at 425°F for 24-27 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  1. For buffalo style: Combine Frank’s RedHot sauce, melted butter, and honey (if using) in a small bowl. Adjust spiciness to taste.
  2. For honey BBQ: Mix honey and barbecue sauce in a bowl. Coat cooked chicken generously.
  3. For garlic parmesan: Blend garlic parmesan aioli with grated parmesan cheese and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  2. Spread a thin layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing on each tortilla.
  3. Layer fresh lettuce as the base, followed by cooked chicken, shredded cheese, and optional toppings.
  4. Roll the wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Cut the wraps in half diagonally for easier handling. Pair with additional dipping sauces if desired.

Notes

  • Soak red onions in ice water for 20 minutes to reduce sharpness before adding to wraps.
  • Store leftover chicken in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
