This crave-worthy Buffalo Chicken Wrap makes for an easy lunch or a fun dinner that’s ready in just minutes! Wrap them up on game day or even bring along to your tailgate. Crispy chicken doused in buffalo wings sauce with cool, creamy crunchy coleslaw and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, chicken nuggets (or use any type of cooked chicken you like or have on hand)
- 1/2 cup mild buffalo wing sauce
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (see note)
- 1/2 cup store bought coleslaw dressing
- 1 burrito size or larger flour tortilla
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken nuggets according to the package directions. Chop into bite sized pieces and place into a bowl. Toss with the buffalo wing sauce and keep warm until you’re ready to wrap.
- While the chicken is cooking, add the coleslaw mix to a bowl and toss with the dressing.
- Warm up a flour tortilla on the stove top or in the microwave, just until soft and warm. In the microwave you’ll need about 10 seconds, on the stove top (either on a gas range or in a skillet) about 10 seconds per side.
- Place the tortilla on a cutting board. Add the coleslaw to the center of the tortilla, topped with the chicken nuggets. Add the shredded cheese to the top of the chicken and get ready to wrap.
- Tuck the sides of the tortilla in towards the center and roll up the wrap burrito-style, tucking in the sides and gently squeezing the wrap as you roll, ending with the seam down.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the wrap in half and serve.
- BONUS: If you want a crispy wrap, leave the wrap whole. Add a drizzle of oil to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap in seam side down and cook for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Flip the wrap over and cook another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a board, cut in half and serve.
Recipe Notes
- For the chicken: We like using crispy chicken nuggets, or chicken tenders for the taste and texture. However, you can use grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken or any chicken that you have on hand. Just cut into bite sized pieces and toss with the buffalo wing sauce.
- For the coleslaw: You can make homemade coleslaw, buy pre-made slaw from the store or follow the directions we have here.
To Store: If you plan on making these wraps ahead of time for a tailgate or for a take along meal, let the chicken cool completely before adding to the wrap. Wrap the chicken wrap with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator or in a cooler.
