A quick and easy smashed buffalo chicken salad wrap with blue cheese dressing, celery crunch, and a spicy, creamy, tangy flavor perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) cooked rotisserie or poached chicken breast, shredded or roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) blue cheese dressing or 1/4 cup (30g) crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons (about 2) green onions, thinly sliced
  • A handful of fresh lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg), washed and dried
  • 4 medium-sized (8-inch/20cm diameter) flour or whole wheat tortillas or wraps
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) butter or olive oil (optional, for warming tortillas)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place cooked chicken in a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, gently smash the chicken until chunky but mostly broken up, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) buffalo sauce over the smashed chicken. Toss gently to coat evenly. Set aside while prepping veggies.
  3. Finely dice 2 celery stalks and thinly slice 2 green onions. Add to the chicken mixture.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons (45ml) blue cheese dressing to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Alternatively, fold in 1/4 cup (30g) crumbled blue cheese.
  5. Squeeze in 1 teaspoon (5ml) fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or with a small pat of butter or olive oil over medium heat for 30-45 seconds per side until pliable and lightly golden (optional).
  7. Lay a tortilla flat and place a few lettuce leaves in the center. Spoon about 1/2 cup (125g) of the smashed buffalo chicken salad on top.
  8. Fold in the sides and roll tightly from one end to the other. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  9. Cut the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with your favorite side.

Notes

Do not overdo the buffalo sauce to avoid sogginess. Smash chicken for chunkier texture rather than shredding. Chop celery just before mixing to keep it crunchy. Warm tortillas for easier folding and better flavor. Blue cheese can be substituted with ranch or feta for milder taste. Store chicken salad and tortillas separately if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess.
