Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large spinach tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • Optional extras: chopped celery sticks, blue cheese crumbles, hot sauce drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken Filling: Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat spinach tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds each side or microwave for 15 seconds to make them pliable. (1-2 minutes)
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1/2 cup of buffalo chicken mixture down the center. Top with fresh baby spinach, shredded cheese, and green onions. Add optional celery or blue cheese if desired. (5 minutes)
  4. Roll It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from bottom to top, keeping the filling snug inside. Secure with a toothpick if needed. (2 minutes)
  5. Optional: Heat the Wraps: Place assembled wraps seam-side down in skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2-3 minutes pressing gently until golden and warm, then flip and repeat. (5-6 minutes)
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wrap diagonally for presentation. Serve with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dip if desired. (1 minute)

Notes

If buffalo sauce is too spicy, add more Greek yogurt to mellow heat. Avoid overfilling wraps to prevent tearing. Warm tortillas before assembling for easier rolling. Prepare chicken filling a day ahead and refrigerate for convenience. Use non-stick skillet for heating wraps to avoid sticking. Optional additions like celery or crushed tortilla chips add crunch.
