For the Wraps

• ½ cucumber, diced
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup sliced red onion

For the Dressing

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Buffalo Chicken

1. In a medium bowl, combine Buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
2. Add the cooked chicken and toss until evenly coated.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the Buffalo chicken and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Step 2: Warm the Tortillas

1. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side or microwave them for 15–20 seconds.
2. This makes them more flexible and easier to roll.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
2. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center.
3. Add a layer of shredded lettuce and cabbage.
4. Top with diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded cheese.
5. Add a generous portion of Buffalo chicken.
6. Sprinkle with any optional toppings you like.

Step 4: Fold and Roll

1. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.
2. Fold the bottom edge over the filling.
3. Roll tightly to create a secure wrap.

Step 5: Toast the Wrap (Optional)

For extra flavor and texture:

1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
2. Place the wrap seam-side down.
3. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and lightly crispy.
