# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Protein Base

01 - 1.25 kilograms boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders

→ Tortilla Wrap

02 - 6 large (30 cm) flour tortillas

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 cups shredded Romaine lettuce
04 - 1 cup finely diced carrots
05 - 1 cup chopped celery
06 - 1 ripe avocado, diced
07 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
08 - 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
09 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

→ Cheese Selection

10 - 1 cup shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese
11 - 1 cup crumbled blue cheese

→ Sauces & Dressing

12 - 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce
13 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing

→ Homemade Buffalo Sauce (optional)

14 - 60 ml Frank’s RedHot Sauce
15 - 28 grams unsalted butter
16 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
17 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar

→ Seasoning

18 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
19 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Garnish

20 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Season chicken breasts or tenders evenly with salt and black pepper. Grill, bake, or pan-sear chicken until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F), approximately 12-15 minutes. Rest and shred into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Combine hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until fully emulsified, then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
03 - Place shredded chicken in a large bowl. Pour Buffalo sauce over the chicken and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
04 - Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds to increase pliability and prevent tearing during rolling.
05 - Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Layer Romaine lettuce in the center, followed by buffalo chicken, carrots, celery, tomato slices, cucumber, avocado, red onion, and both cheeses. Drizzle with ranch dressing and a little extra buffalo sauce if desired.
06 - Fold the bottom edge up by 5 cm, fold in sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping ingredients compact. Press gently to seal.
07 - Slice wraps diagonally for presentation. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately alongside complementary sides or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Allow chicken to cool slightly before shredding to retain moisture and texture.
02 - For optimal crispness, assemble wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess.
03 - Adjust Buffalo sauce heat level by modifying the hot sauce-to-butter ratio to suit your palate.
04 - Store components separately if preparing ahead to maintain ingredient freshness.
