Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) black pepper
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) hot sauce (Frank's RedHot or similar)
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp (15ml) white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup (85g) shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup (50g) crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup (25g) thinly sliced celery (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) buttermilk (optional, for marinade)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) hot sauce (optional, for marinade)
- 1 tsp (5ml) garlic powder (optional, for marinade)
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) salt (optional, for marinade)
Instructions:
- (Optional: Marinate the chicken): Combine the chicken with the buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While chicken cooks, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a separate bowl.
- Toss the Chicken in Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm tortillas slightly (microwave for 10-15 seconds or heat in a dry skillet). Spread ranch dressing evenly over each tortilla.
- Add Fillings: Top with shredded lettuce, buffalo chicken, blue cheese (if using), and celery (if using).
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll up from the bottom. Serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy buffalo chicken wraps!
