Quick Recipe Overview

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps
Category: Lunch, Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

• 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat diced
• ½ cup Buffalo sauce
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 celery stalks, cut into batons
• 1 cup celery leaves or parsley
• ½ cup blue cheese dressing

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken

Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the Buffalo sauce and melted butter. Add the diced chicken and toss until every piece is evenly coated.

2. Prepare the Wrap Ingredients

Wash and cut the celery stalks into thin batons. If using celery leaves, rinse and roughly chop them. You can also use fresh parsley for a slightly different flavor.

Have the mozzarella and blue cheese dressing ready so the wraps are easy to assemble.

3. Warm the Tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until flexible. This helps prevent them from cracking when rolled.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Place one tortilla on a clean work surface.

Add a portion of the Buffalo chicken down the center, followed by shredded mozzarella, celery batons, celery leaves or parsley, and blue cheese dressing.

Be careful not to overfill the tortilla, as this will make rolling difficult.

5. Roll and Serve

Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling tucked inside.

Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

For an extra-melty wrap, you can place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 1–2 minutes per side.

Recipe Tips for Success

• Use rotisserie chicken: It saves time and keeps the filling tender.
• Adjust the Buffalo sauce: Use less for a milder wrap or more for extra heat.
• Don’t skip the butter: It rounds out the sharpness of the Buffalo sauce and helps coat the chicken evenly.
• Keep the celery crisp: Add it right before assembling for the best crunch.
• Warm the tortillas: Soft tortillas are easier to roll without tearing.
• Don’t overfill: Divide the ingredients evenly between the four tortillas.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Mozzarella: Use Monterey Jack, cheddar, Colby Jack, or pepper Jack.
• Blue cheese dressing: Ranch dressing is an easy alternative if you prefer a milder flavor.
• Flour tortillas: Use whole-wheat, spinach, or large gluten-free tortillas.
• Celery leaves: Substitute fresh parsley, cilantro, or simply use extra celery.
• Rotisserie chicken: Leftover roasted, grilled, or baked chicken works well.

Recipe Variations

Make Them Extra Spicy

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the Buffalo chicken mixture.

Make Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wraps

After rolling the wraps, lightly brush the outside with melted butter and toast them in a skillet until golden and crisp.

Add Fresh Vegetables

Sliced green onions, shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, or thinly sliced carrots can add extra crunch.

Make Mini Wraps

Use smaller tortillas and divide the filling into smaller portions for an easy party appetizer or game-day snack.

What to Serve With Buffalo Chicken Wraps

These wraps pair especially well with:

• Carrot sticks
• Extra celery sticks
• Potato wedges
• Sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw
• Simple green salad
• Corn on the cob
• Fresh fruit

Serve with extra Buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, or ranch on the side for dipping.

How to Store

If possible, store the Buffalo chicken mixture separately from the tortillas and fresh celery.

Place leftover chicken in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Store the celery separately to help maintain its crunch.

Assemble the wraps just before serving for the best texture.

Can You Freeze Buffalo Chicken Wraps?

The Buffalo chicken filling can be frozen, but fully assembled wraps are not ideal for freezing because the celery and dressing can become watery after thawing.

To freeze the chicken, place it in an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before assembling fresh wraps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use leftover chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes. Any cooked chicken works well, including roasted, grilled, or baked chicken. Just make sure it is diced into bite-sized pieces.

Can I use ranch instead of blue cheese dressing?

Absolutely. Ranch is a popular pairing with Buffalo chicken and gives the wraps a milder, creamy flavor.

How can I make these wraps less spicy?

Use a mild Buffalo sauce and reduce the amount slightly. The blue cheese dressing also helps balance the heat.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the Buffalo chicken mixture ahead, but for the best texture, assemble the wraps shortly before serving.

Can I toast the wraps?

Yes. Toasting them in a skillet makes the tortillas lightly crisp and melts the mozzarella. Cook seam-side down first so the wraps hold their shape.
