tips to make Buffalo Chicken Wrap
To enhance the flavor, you can add some sliced avocado or diced tomatoes to the wrap. If you like it extra spicy, try using a spicier buffalo sauce or adding sliced jalapeños. Making your own ranch dressing instead of using store-bought can also elevate this dish.

If you want to make a lighter version of the wrap, consider using grilled chicken instead of frozen tenders. You can also swap out the burrito tortilla for a whole wheat or spinach tortilla for a healthier option.
FAQs
Can I use fresh chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use fresh cooked chicken. Just make sure to coat it with buffalo sauce once it’s cooked.
