Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the buffalo chicken ahead of time, but I recommend assembling the wraps just before eating. If you need to make them in advance, wrap tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil and consume within a few hours to prevent sogginess.

How can I make these wraps gluten-free?

Simply substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves. Also, check that your buffalo sauce and dressings are gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat-based ingredients.

What's a good vegetarian alternative for this recipe?

Try using cauliflower florets tossed in buffalo sauce and roasted until tender, or extra-firm tofu cubed and pan-fried until crispy before adding the buffalo sauce. Both make excellent vegetarian substitutes that still deliver that buffalo flavor experience.

Is there a way to make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use a dairy-free ranch dressing (many brands now offer this) and either omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative. The buffalo sauce is typically dairy-free, but double-check the ingredients list to be certain.

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken
Slice the chicken into strips and place them in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Wraps
Place a flour tortilla on your workstation. Spread 2 tablespoons of the dressing evenly over the tortilla.
Assemble the Wraps
Layer the tortilla with ½ cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tablespoons of shaved celery, ¼ of the avocado slices, ¼ cup of shredded cheese, and ¼ of the cooked chicken.
Roll and Serve
Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito. Slice it in half for easy serving and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier kick, you can drizzle extra Buffalo sauce inside the wrap.
If you prefer a healthier option, swap flour tortillas for whole-wheat tortillas.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken—just toss it with the Buffalo sauce before assembling.
Blue cheese dressing can add an extra tangy flavor compared to ranch dressing.
