I love making these for a quick lunch. They’re so easy to prepare, and let’s face it, who doesn’t love a little kick from the buffalo sauce? Just roll them up, and you’re ready to munch!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: I love using large 10-inch tortillas for wraps because they hold everything nicely. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try whole wheat or spinach tortillas. They add extra flavor and nutrition.
Cooked Chicken: Grilled or crispy chicken breast works wonders here. If you’re in a pinch, rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut! Just shred it and mix with buffalo sauce for that perfect flavor.
Buffalo Wing Sauce: This is what gives the wraps their kick! If you want something milder, use a mild buffalo sauce or mix it with a little ranch dressing. You can also make your own by mixing hot sauce with melted butter.
Romaine Lettuce: Fresh and crisp, romaine adds a nice crunch. If you don’t have romaine, try iceberg for a similar texture. Spinach is another good alternative for a different flavor.
Cheese: I like shredded mozzarella for its meltiness, but Parmesan adds a nice, salty bite. Feel free to use your favorite cheese or even skip it altogether for a lighter wrap!
How Do You Roll a Wrap Without Losing the Filling?
Rolling a wrap can be tricky, but with a few techniques, you’ll have it down! Here’s how to roll your Easy Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wraps perfectly:
- Start with the tortilla flat and add your ingredients in the center, leaving space on the edges.
- Fold the sides in first to prevent any filling from spilling out. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight!
- Begin rolling from the bottom upwards, pulling the fillings in as you go to keep everything packed tightly.
- Once rolled, you can wrap it in parchment or foil to keep it together until serving.
Remember, practice makes perfect, and it’s totally okay if your first wrap isn’t perfect! Enjoy your delicious creation!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Start by taking a small bowl and tossing your cooked chicken breast pieces with the buffalo wing sauce until they’re all nicely coated. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference!
2. Prepare the Tortillas:
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of Caesar dressing on each tortilla, distributing it evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
3. Add the Fresh Ingredients:
Now, it’s time to bring in the crunch! Divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly between the two tortillas, placing it right in the center. This adds a fresh taste to each wrap!

Add the buffalo chicken on top of the lettuce on each tortilla. This is where the yummy flavor really builds up!
5. Top It Off:
Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese over the chicken. This adds that delicious gooeyness we all love!
6. Drizzle More Dressing:
For an extra creamy touch, drizzle any remaining Caesar dressing over the fillings. Yum!
7. Roll the Wraps:
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, folding in the sides as you go to keep everything secure. A little bit of practice and you’ll be a pro at this!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating and serve them immediately. Pair with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping if you’d like!
These wraps are full of flavor and perfect for a quick meal. Enjoy the spicy kick of buffalo chicken blended with creamy Caesar dressing—it’s a match made in culinary heaven!
Can I Use Leftover Chicken for This Recipe?
Absolutely! Leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken works perfectly here. Just shred or slice it and combine it with the buffalo sauce as directed.
What Can I Substitute for the Buffalo Sauce?
If you’re looking for a milder flavor, you can use a mild buffalo sauce or even mix hot sauce with melted butter to create your own. Alternatively, barbecue sauce provides a sweeter twist if you prefer something less spicy!
How to Store Leftover Wraps?
To store any leftover wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy later, simply reheat in a skillet over low heat or enjoy them cold!
Can I Add Additional Veggies?
Definitely! Feel free to add extra veggies like diced tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocado for added flavor and crunch. Just slice them thinly so they fit well in the wrap!
