HOW TO MAKE buffalo chicken wraps
This Buffalo Chicken Wraps recipe has a few components, but it’s very easy to make. Let’s take a closer look with step-by-step photos (full recipe with measurements in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Whisk together all of the Buffalo Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.Measure out ¼ cup and add to a shallow dish or freezer bag, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken and toss evenly to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 hours up to overnight.To the remaining marinade, make your Buffalo Glaze by whisking in 1 tablespoon honey and 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 2: Prep the Filling ingredients
While the chicken marinates, chop the celery, carrots, tomatoes, red onions and cook up the bacon. If using homemade blue cheese, whisk it together and refrigerate. The veggie toppings can all be chopped to 24 hours in advance, so prep them at whatever point during the marinating process is best for you!
Step 3: Cook the chicken
You can either grill the chicken on an indoor or outdoor grill or pan sear. I highly suggest grilling, however, because the honey in the marinade can make the chicken more prone to charring:
Step 4: Slice the Chicken
Let the chicken rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute. This will make for juicier chicken! Brush the chicken with the buffalo glaze. Thinly slice the chicken.
Step 5: Assemble the chicken wraps
Line the tortillas with lettuce followed by chicken, tomatoes, red onions, carrots, celery, bacon and a generous drizzle of blue cheese dressing or ranch if you prefer. Top with extra buffalo sauce if you like it spicy!
Step 6: wrap them up!
Wrap the chicken wraps up burrito style. At this point you can either dig in, or I LOVE to toast mine in a skillet. Instructions to follow.
