Step-by-Step Instructions

Quick Overview

  1. Marinate and cook the chicken.
  2. Assemble the wraps.
  3. Serve and enjoy.

Detailed Steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken
    • Slice the chicken breasts into long, thin strips.
    • Whisk together olive oil, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add the chicken strips and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes or 24 hours for more flavour.
  2. Cook the Chicken
    • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Prepare the Wraps
    • Spread a thin layer of blue cheese or ranch dressing over each tortilla.
    • Layer with chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, avocado slices, and cheddar cheese.
  4. Assemble
    • Arrange a few cooked chicken strips down the centre of each tortilla.
    • Roll the tortillas tightly, like a burrito, to secure the filling.
  5. Serve
    • Serve immediately with extra hot sauce or dressing, if desired. Enjoy!

Serving Ideas

  • With a Side: Pair with sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad.
  • For Extra Heat: Add a drizzle of sriracha or more hot sauce before wrapping.
  • As a Platter: Cut into halves or thirds for an appetizer spread.

Pro Tips

  1. Marinate Longer: For more flavour, let the chicken marinate overnight.
  2. Crisp Tortillas: Lightly warm or toast the tortillas before assembling.
  3. Keep It Fresh: Assemble the wraps before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Customizations and Add-Ons

  • Add Veggies: Include sliced cucumbers, red onions, or bell peppers.
  • Switch Dressings: Use Caesar or honey mustard dressing for a twist.
  • Make It Lighter: Swap cheddar for reduced-fat cheese and use low-carb tortillas.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

A: Yes! Prepare the chicken and veggies in advance, but assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh.

Q: Can I use pre-cooked chicken?

A: Absolutely! Toss shredded rotisserie chicken with the buffalo sauce mixture.

Q: How do I store leftovers?

A: Store the cooked chicken separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh wraps as needed.
