Quick and Easy Steps

Start with the bacon! Place the bacon strips in a frying pan & cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Set the bacon on paper towels after removing it from the pan. This will help soak up excess grease. You can also cook the bacon on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F. I like to line the baking sheet with tin foil for less clean up. Bake until the bacon reaches the crispiness you prefer! This typically takes about 15-20 minutes for me. Chop the bacon once it’s cooled.

Dice the chicken. I like to use rotisserie chicken for this recipe but feel free to use cooked chicken thighs, breasts, or ground chicken. You will need 1/2 cup of whatever type of chicken you use for each wrap. Chop the green onion and parsley as well.

Combine the diced chicken, chopped bacon, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix those ingredients well and set aside!

In a blender, add the olive oil mayo, cilantro, green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until it’s creamy & you have a healthy Greek yogurt cilantro mayo.

Now it’s time to make the salad. Dice the roma tomato, add the shredded lettuce, and about 2 tablespoons of the cilantro Mayo. Mix well.

Time to Assemble & Roll Your Buffalo Chicken Wrap!

To assemble the wraps, spread a thin layer of the cilantro mayo over one half of the wrap or tortilla. Add about 1/2 cup of the buffalo chicken first. Then you’ll add the salad mix, some pickled onions, pickles, and avocado!

Now roll this thing! Fold one side of the wrap over the toppings, fold in the sides, then roll the rest of your wrap. Add a bit of olive oil to a pan on medium heat and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with a side of the healthy greek yogurt cilantro mayo for dipping, and enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Wrap Variations

Here are some fun ingredient alternatives or variations for your Buffalo Chicken Crunchy Wrap recipe!

Different Protein: Instead of chicken, you can use shredded pork, beef, or even ground turkey for a different flavor profile.

Spicy Cilantro Mayo: Mix a bit of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for a little more spice in your Greek yogurt cilantro mayo.

Cheese: If you’d like, add feta, blue cheese, shredded cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella cheese for a little extra cheesy flavor.

Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian version, use tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas instead of chicken. Marinate the tofu or tempeh in buffalo sauce before cooking. If you’re using chickpeas, mash them before adding the other ingredients to the chickpeas.

Veggies: Add more veggies for extra crunch and flavor. Try adding sliced bell peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, or shredded carrots.

Wraps: I always choose to use almond flour, or gluten-free wraps or tortillas in this recipe. Feel free to use different types of wraps such as whole wheat, spinach, or sun-dried tomato wraps for added flavor and color.

These variations can add a new twist to your Buffalo Chicken Crunchy Wrap and make it even more delicious and suited to your palette!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can use a different type of protein such as shredded beef, pork, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.

Feel free to use any type of tortilla or wrap you prefer, such as whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free options, to customize the wraps to your liking.
