Half-Cooked Harvest Buffalo Chicken Wrap
Like a primewe add one of our favorite wrap recipes that grew all the right flavor buds – perfectly balanced with an easy and healthy wrap recipe.
You’ll combine shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, herbs, lettuce and a little cheddar cheese, fold them into wraps, then pan fry until hot and crispy.
These easy wraps, made by Half-cooked harvest, get together in just a few minutes. They’re crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside. Serve with deliciously creamy Jalapeño Lime Ranch and extra buffalo sauce! These healthy wraps are perfect for lunch and dinner, but just as fun for game night!
Making these folded wrappers is easy. Here’s how to do it…
First things first: start with the buffalo chicken. Shred some chicken breasts and toss them with homemade Buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt (for creaminess) and fresh herbs. Most buffalo chicken toppings are made with cream cheese, but you can substitute the yogurt for a healthier choice.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 4 large tortillas (burrito size) whole wheat or gluten-free
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1-2 jalapeño or poblano peppers, chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- Olive oil, for cooking
Ingredients for Jalapeño Ranch:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños + 2 tablespoons brine
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
To assemble:
Make a cut in the center of your tortillas, then add the chicken in one corner, the green vegetables in another corner and finally the cheese in another. Fold everything, then brown it in the pan. So you have…
- A quarter of buffalo chicken
- Another quarter round of greens and things
- A quarter full of ranch
- And finally a quarter full of cheese
- Fold everything into a single triangle
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, yogurt, Buffalo sauce, chives, parsley and dill.
- To make the ranch. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
- To assemble, cut from the center of the tortilla to the edge. Lay out the chicken in the lower left corner, then add a handful of lettuce, jalapeño/poblano pepper, and green onions in the upper left corner. Spread the ranch in the upper right corner and the cheese in the lower right corner. Fold the Buffalo chicken over the lettuce. Then, working clockwise, fold this quarter over the ranch. And finally, fold this quarter over the cheese.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan, add 1 wrap and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden. Serve hot with additional Buffalo sauce, ranch and lettuce.
