Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Wraps (Quick Dinner Hack)
Quick buffalo chicken flatbread wraps with spicy sauced chicken, melty cheese, cool ranch or blue cheese, and crunchy veggies. A fast weeknight dinner hack you can assemble in minutes and optionally toast in a skillet for extra texture.
Equipment
- Large skillet (for warming/toasting)
- Mixing Bowl
- Tongs or Spatula
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce adjust to heat preference
- 1 tbsp butter melted (optional, for richer classic buffalo flavor)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Wrap Components
- 4 large flatbreads soft flatbread works best for rolling
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
Optional Add-Ins
- avocado sliced
- celery finely chopped (adds classic buffalo crunch)
- green onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the buffalo chicken: In a bowl, toss cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, melted butter (optional), and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Warm the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium. Add buffalo chicken and warm 2–3 minutes until hot. Turn off heat.
- Warm the flatbreads: In a dry skillet, warm each flatbread 20–30 seconds per side until pliable (this helps prevent tearing when rolling).
- Assemble: Spread dressing down the center of each flatbread. Add shredded cheese, then spoon on warm buffalo chicken. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion (plus avocado/celery if using). Don’t overfill for easier rolling.
- Wrap tightly: Fold the bottom edge up slightly, fold in both sides, then roll tightly into a wrap.
- Optional toast: Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and toast 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden and sealed.
- Serve: Slice in half and serve immediately (best texture when fresh). Add extra dressing on the side if desired.
Notes
Best texture: Warm chicken before assembling so the cheese softens, and toast the wrap briefly for a lightly crisp exterior.
Heat level: Start with 1/3 cup buffalo sauce if you prefer milder flavor, then add more to taste.
Meal prep: Store buffalo chicken separately and assemble wraps just before eating to keep lettuce crisp.
Leftovers: Fully assembled wraps keep up to 24 hours wrapped tightly, but they’re best fresh.
