- 1/4 cup sliced red onions (40g)
For the buffalo sauce:

- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (15ml)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (5g)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (2.5g)

- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5g)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (2.5g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the buffalo sauce ingredients until well combined. Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your desired level of spiciness.
- In another bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Take a tortilla or wrap and spread a generous amount of buffalo sauce onto it, leaving about 1 inch (2.5cm) border around the edges.
Layer a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped celery, and sliced red onions onto the sauce.
Add a portion of the cooked and shredded chicken on top of the vegetables.
Drizzle a spoonful of the dressing over the chicken.
Fold the sides of the tortilla or wrap towards the center, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Repeat steps 3 to 7 for the remaining tortillas or wraps.
Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes/Tips
To cook the chicken breasts, you can either grill, bake, or pan-fry them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Season them with salt and pepper before cooking for added flavor.
If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of hot sauce in the buffalo sauce. Similarly, if you like it spicier, add more hot sauce.
You can customize your buffalo chicken wrap by adding other ingredients such as blue cheese crumbles, avocado, or bacon.
For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of regular tortillas. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the dressing for a lighter alternative.
