Cooking the Chicken

Start by cooking diced chicken breasts or tenders until fully cooked. Shred or dice into small pieces.

In a skillet, melt the butter. Add the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Remove from heat.

Chicken Tips

  • Use fully cooked chicken breast or tenders.
  • Shred, chop or dice chicken into small pieces.
  • Toss chicken in just enough buffalo sauce to lightly coat.
  • Keep additional sauce for dipping.

Making Blue Cheese Sauce

In a bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles, sour cream, mayo, milk, lemon juice and garlic powder.

Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Sauce Tips

  • Adjust milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Add lemon juice and garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • Chill sauce for 30+ minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assembling the Wraps

Lay a flour or lettuce tortilla wrap flat. Layer shredded lettuce down the center along with diced tomatoes.

Top with buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with sauce. Roll up tightly.

Assembly Tips

  • Build wraps with lettuce closest to you for less mess.
  • Layer toppings down the center in rows.
  • Spread sauce and crumbles evenly.
  • Brush edges with water to help seal.

Baking the Wraps

Place assembled wraps on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil or butter.

Baking Tips

  • Bake just until hot and lightly crispy.
  • Cutting in half makes them easier to eat.
