  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Coating

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce)

Wrap Assembly

  • Burrito size tortillas
  • Ranch dressing
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Finely chopped lettuce
  • Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot and ready for cooking the chicken.
  2. Coat the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Season the chicken pieces with pepper, then dredge each piece evenly in the flour mixture to create a light coating.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and allow it to heat up. Place the coated chicken pieces into the pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Toss chicken in buffalo sauce: Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and transfer it to a bowl. Toss the chicken pieces with 1/3 cup of buffalo wing sauce until they are well coated with the spicy sauce.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Use the same skillet to lightly fry the burrito-sized tortillas. Cook each side for about 10 seconds on medium heat to soften them and add a slight toast.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Place a scoop of buffalo chicken onto each warmed tortilla. Add a drizzle of ranch dressing, a handful of finely chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Wrap them up tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add hot sauce to the buffalo wing sauce.
  • Chicken can be prepped ahead of time and kept warm in a low oven before tossing with sauce.
  • If preferred, substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a richer flavor.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Use fresh tortillas or warm them on a griddle for softer wraps.
