Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz cooked shredded chicken breast with 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot sauce, stirring to coat evenly and infuse the chicken with spicy flavor.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, mix 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth to create a creamy blue cheese dressing.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 finely diced celery stalk and 2 thinly sliced green onions to the buffalo chicken mixture, folding gently to distribute the crunch and freshness.
  4. Step 4: Lay out 2 large flour tortillas on a clean surface, place 2 lettuce leaves on each, then evenly divide the buffalo chicken salad atop the lettuce.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle each wrap with about 2 tbsp of the blue cheese dressing, then tightly roll up each tortilla, folding in the edges to secure the filling. Slice in half and serve immediately or wrap for lunch.
