SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE BUFFALO CHICKEN CRUNCH WRAPS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the buffalo chicken wraps (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Cooked shredded chicken – can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for ease.
• Cottage cheese
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Buffalo sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra large tortillas
• Crunchy tostada shells – tortilla chips or protein chips also work well.
• Ranch dressing – can also use blue cheese if preferred.
• Shredded lettuce
• Fresh tomatoes
• Cooking spray
• Optional – green onion, vegan cheese, sour cream, romaine lettuce, onion powder, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE HEALTHY BUFFALO CHICKEN WRAP

1. Start by making the Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip.
2. Place the large tortilla on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of the spicy buffalo chicken mixture in the center – about the size of the tostada shell.
3. Then add shredded cheese on top of the meat evenly. Top with tostada shell.
4. Add a thin layer of ranch dressing (approximately a tablespoon of dressing), then top with the diced ripe tomatoes and shredded lettuce.
5. Tightly fold the edges of the flour tortilla towards the center of the tortilla, creating pleats as you go.
6. In a large nonstick skillet or a small saucepan, heat oil. Add crunch wrap folded side down and cook until golden brown over medium-high heat. This should take 2-3 minutes. Flip over to other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Continue with the remaining 3 and enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Shred the Chicken: Use cooked and shredded chicken for the filling. You can use leftover roast chicken, rotisserie chicken, or cook some chicken breasts and shred them. Shredded chicken helps the filling mix well and keeps everything evenly distributed.
2. Blend the Cottage Cheese: If you’re not a fan of the texture of cottage cheese, you can blend it until smooth before mixing it with the other ingredients. This helps create a creamier filling.
3. Adjust the Heat: Customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce. If you like it milder, use less sauce or mix in a bit more Greek yogurt. For more heat, add extra sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper.
4. Seal the Tortilla: When folding the tortilla, make sure to overlap the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out. Placing the crunchwrap seam side down in the skillet helps seal it securely.
5. Cook at the Right Temperature: Use medium heat to cook the crunchwraps. Cooking at too high a temperature can burn the outside before the cheese melts, while too low a temperature might make the tortillas soggy.
6. Press While Cooking: Press down on the crunchwrap with a spatula while cooking to flatten it slightly. This helps it cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
7. Serve Immediately: The crunchwraps are best served right away while they’re hot and crispy. If you have leftovers, reheat them in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispiness.

STORING LEFTOVER HOMEMADE CRUNCHWRAPS

1. Cool Completely: Let the crunchwraps cool to room temperature before storing to prevent condensation from making them soggy.
2. Wrap and Refrigerate: Wrap each crunchwrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
3. Reheat Properly: To reheat, unwrap the crunchwraps and place them in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until they’re warmed through and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. You can also reheat them in an air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. This helps restore their original crispiness.
4. Freeze for Later: For longer storage, freeze the wrapped crunchwraps in a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as described above.

FAQS

CAN I USE THE BUFFALO CHICKEN MIXTURE FOR LETTUCE WRAPS INSTEAD OF CRUNCHWRAPS?

Yes! Buffalo chicken lettuce wraps are a great low-carb alternative to crunchwraps. Use a large leaf of lettuce and place a generous amount of filling in the middle of the wrap for a lighter, delicious option.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO REHEAT LEFTOVER WRAPS?

The best way to reheat leftover wraps is in a large skillet over medium heat or in an air fryer. Reheat for 15-20 minutes until they’re warm and crispy. You can also wrap them in tin foil and warm them in the oven to prevent them from drying out.

HOW CAN I PREVENT THE WRAPS FROM GETTING SOGGY?

To prevent the wraps from becoming soggy, avoid overfilling them and wrapping them in paper towels before placing them in the fridge. This helps absorb any excess moisture.
