Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • ¼ cup hot buffalo sauce
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas (8–10 inches)
  • 4 small corn tostadas (or baked tortilla chips for crunch)
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup fat-free or light ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat. In the center, layer ½ cup buffalo chicken, 1 tostada (or chips), a sprinkle of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a drizzle of dressing.

3. Fold the Wraps
Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, working around to create a sealed, circular wrap. Press down gently to keep it closed.

4. Cook the Wraps
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.

5. Serve Hot
Cut in half and serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or dressing if desired.
