Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups (about 300 g) cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 120 ml mild or hot buffalo sauce
- 60 g plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 low-calorie whole wheat tortillas
- 60 g shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Chopped tomatoes
- Avocado slices
- Light ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Buffalo Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
- Coat Chicken: Pour the buffalo-yogurt mixture over the shredded chicken and toss well to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until they become soft and flexible for easy rolling.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a work surface, spoon an even portion of the buffalo chicken onto the center, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and add desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and avocado slices.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle with light ranch dressing if desired, then roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately while the wrap is warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra heat, use hot buffalo sauce instead of mild.
- You can swap Greek yogurt for sour cream if preferred, though yogurt adds a protein boost.
- To reduce sodium, choose a low-sodium buffalo sauce or rinse shredded chicken before mixing.
- These wraps can be made in advance and refrigerated; warm slightly before serving.
- Customize toppings according to your preference—add sliced onions or jalapeños for more bite.
