And messy, which added to the fun, I suppose.

The recipe is super flexible, allowing you to customize the ingredients to your liking. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, veggies, or even add some crispy bacon for extra indulgence! You really can’t go wrong here. Think of it as a blank canvas that you can customize to fit your tastebuds. I love adding a bit of extra celery and shredded carrots for a nice crunch.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, let's tackle the chicken. Grab about 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Don't be shy, get them nice and small. We're aiming for quick cooking time here, people!
  2. Next, get your buffalo sauce ready. Now, you can either use your favorite store-bought brand or make your own (I'll give you a quick recipe if you're feeling ambitious). If you're going homemade, you'll need butter, hot sauce (Frank's RedHot is classic!), white vinegar, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix until the hot sauce is well-incorporated.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Once the skillet is hot, toss in your chicken pieces and cook until they're fully cooked through and lightly browned. This should take about 8-10 minutes, but keep an eye on them, those little guys can cook fast!
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour in your buffalo sauce and toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated. Reduce heat slightly and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken the sauce and really let the flavors meld. It's important to let the chicken simmer so that the flavors really infuse!
  5. While the chicken is simmering, let's get those tortillas ready. Lay them out on a flat surface to warm up a bit. This can be done in a warm spot in your kitchen, or you can use a lightly heated skillet (just don't burn them!),
  6. Now for the fun part—assembling the wraps! Place about 1/2 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add your favorite toppings here! I’m a big fan of crumbled blue cheese (or ranch if you don't do blue), shredded carrots, and some crisp celery for added texture.
  7. Fold your wraps. There are various ways to do this. My personal favorite is to fold the sides in, then roll it up tightly. This way they're extra sturdy for those picnics!
  8. If you are planning ahead, you can wrap your wraps in aluminum foil to keep them fresh in a cooler or picnic basket. It's best to wrap them loosely to avoid any steaming or sogginess.
  9. Serve and enjoy your amazing buffalo chicken picnic wraps. They are best served fresh so everyone gets that amazing crispy texture and the delicious taste!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a little buffalo sauce before cooking. You can totally add other veggies to the mix!
