Tips to make Buffalo Chicken Wrap
- If you like it spicier, add more hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños.
- Feel free to swap out the blue cheese or ranch dressing for your favorite dressing.
- To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts from scratch.
Variation
You can make this recipe using other proteins, such as grilled shrimp or tofu, for a different flavor. You can also change up the veggies by adding bell peppers, cucumbers, or red onion.
