Ranch Buffalo Chicken Wrap

There is something very satisfying about the classic mix of buffalo chicken and ranch. This buffalo chicken wrap features a homemade sriracha ranch, which makes it just that little bit more flavorful. Accompanied by crunchy red cabbage, sliced green onion, and a lightly crisped tortilla, this simple wrap makes a perfect lunch.

The Chicken

The base of this recipe is, of course, the buffalo chicken. In the recipe below I have included instructions for my favorite method of preparing the chicken - in an instant pot. However, there are also instructions for using pre-made chicken. Therefore, you have options. It doesn't always feel like you have options in life, so consider it my gift to you. YOU GET TO CHOOSE! You can buy a rotisserie chicken or make your own whole roasted chicken, then tear it apart like a feral beast...and/or the normal way (you get to choose). Alternatively, check out this recipe for crockpot shredded chicken. If you don't like those options, and in fact, you actually forgot to even defrost any chicken, the instant pot method is for you.

The Sauces

There are two important sauces in this buffalo chicken wrap. The first is, unsurprisingly, buffalo sauce. Check out my spicy buffalo sauce recipe. Regardless of chicken choice, you will want this sauce, as it is the crucial flavor deal breaker. Next is the homemade sriracha ranch; the recipe is included in the recipe card below. I think that this lightly spicy ranch is a perfect companion for this wrap. However, if you prefer something more traditional, check out this regular ranch dressing recipe.

How to Fold a Wrap

Ok, look, I am a messy burrito wrapper. I know that making a well sealed, perfect looking wrap is simply not my strength. That is why I am providing you with two well demonstrated wrapping techniques. Decide which you like, then place your ingredients on your tortilla according to that method (i.e. either in the center or the bottom half-ish of your tortilla). Even if you struggle to fold, remember that your results will probably look better than mine and hey, that's something.

Now go forth and consume your buffalo chicken wrap...or 4. You made them, which means, if you want to, you get to eat all of them. Who says excessive buffalo wraps aren't self care?

Keep your belly full, your mind engaged, and your heart open.

    After eyeing this recipe for a while, I finally gave it a try tonight. The only thing I might do differently next time would be to add a tiny bit of flour to thicken up the Buffalo Sauce. Otherwise, I would happily make this one again. Thanks for a great recipe!
