PREPARATION

  • Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yoghurt and hot sauce. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Adjust the spice level to taste.
  • Coat the Chicken: Toss the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated, ensuring each bite has a perfect balance of spice and creaminess.
  • Assemble the Wrap: Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly in the centre of the wrap.
  • Add the Toppings: Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and crumbled blue cheese over the chicken for a combination of freshness and savoury richness.
  • Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half and serve immediately.

COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Use a Warm Tortilla: Slightly warming the tortilla makes it easier to roll without breaking.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: Add extra hot sauce for more heat or mix in honey for a slightly milder version.
  • Make it Crunchier: Add sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots or diced celery for extra crunch and texture.
  • Enhance the Flavour: A dash of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or onion powder can deepen the flavour of Buffalo sauce.
  • Keep it Fresh: If prepping ahead, store ingredients separately and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.

VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-Free Option: Omit the blue cheese and replace Greek yoghurt with dairy-free yoghurt or mashed avocado for creaminess.
  • Low-Carb Version: For a keto-friendly meal, swap the whole wheat tortilla for a large lettuce wrap or a low-carb tortilla.
  • Extra Protein: Add scrambled egg whites or black beans for an additional protein boost without altering the flavour.
  • Vegetarian Alternative: Replace the chicken with grilled tofu, tempeh or chickpeas for a plant-based version with the same bold Buffalo taste.
  • Creamier Texture: Blend Greek yoghurt with avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice for a richer and smoother sauce.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover Buffalo chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh when ready to eat.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the lettuce and tomatoes will become soggy when thawed.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prep and store all ingredients separately. Assemble the wrap fresh for the best texture and flavour. If packing for lunch, wrap it in parchment paper or foil to keep it intact.
