Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) buffalo sauce
- 28 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) plain Greek yogurt or ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas (about 60 g / 10-inch each)
- 100 g (1 cup) celery, thinly sliced
- 50 g (2 cups) shredded lettuce
- 60 g (1/2 cup) blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) black pepper
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) garlic powder
Instructions
- Season and sear the chicken by patting it dry, then seasoning it with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4–6 minutes until golden.
- Finish cooking the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F), about 4–6 more minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a bowl, let it rest for 3 minutes, then shred. In another bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, melted butter, and lemon juice. Toss the shredded chicken with the sauce.
- Make the creamy veggie mix by combining Greek yogurt (or ranch) with celery, shredded lettuce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet for 10–15 seconds per side until pliable. Place shredded chicken and veggie mix in the center, optionally topped with blue cheese. Fold and roll tightly.
- If desired, toast the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-ahead options include cooking and shredding the chicken up to 3 days in advance. Store sauce separately and assemble just before serving to maintain tortilla crispness.
