Buffalo ranch chicken wraps are so tasty, loaded with flavor from spicy buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and blue cheese.
These wraps are easy to make for lunch. I like to prepare the ingredients and have it in the fridge for when I’m ready to through together a wrap. It’s so simple, and so delicious.
This Buffalo ranch chicken wraps recipe is among my all-time favorite wraps to make. It has a spicy, smoky flavor, richness from the dressing, and crunchy fresh lettuce to cool it all down. All you have to do is cook the chicken, shred it, mix it with the rest of the ingredients and fill your wrap.
Ingredients You Need
You can make these tasty wraps using these simple ingredients:
- Chicken breasts – The main ingredient for this recipe is chicken breast. Use boneless and skinless chicken for these wraps. You can also shortcut this step by using rotisserie chicken.
- Buffalo hot sauce – Spicy buffalo sauce is a signature sauce loaded with flavors. It has the right amount of heat smokiness. I prefer to use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo sauce.
- Butter –Use salted butter for additional flavor.
- Ranch dressing mix – This is the powdered form of the dressing that you can find in a packet or a larger container at the store. If you can’t find it, you can use prepared Ranch, but it will add more creaminess to the chicken.
- Flour tortillas – you can use corn tortillas, if you wish. I like to use 8″ to 10″ burrito wraps.
- Blue cheese – crumbled blue cheese has a unique, salty, and slightly spicy flavor. Its flavor complements the rest of the ingredients very well.
- Blue cheese dressing – To intensify the flavors, use blue cheese dressing.
- Shredded lettuce – shredded lettuce adds a crispy and refreshing touch to this wrap.
How to Make Buffalo Ranch Wraps
Step 1: Cook & shred chicken
Add chicken breast to a pot. Fill the pot with water to 1 inch above the chicken. Heat to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Check the internal temperature of the chicken after 8 minutes. It should be 165° F. It could take up to 15 minutes for larger breasts to cook through.
Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When cooled slightly, shred the chicken with a fork. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Step 2: Add the buffalo sauce
Add in the buffalo sauce, butter and Ranch dressing mix. Stir well. If you’re not into the Ranch, you can leave it out. Whenever I leave it out, I replace it with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Step 3: Build the wraps
Divide the chicken among the 4 tortillas. Top with blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, and shredded lettuce.
Tuck in the sides of the tortilla. Fold the bottom flap over the filling and roll tightly. Cut in half and serve.

These were super easy to make and OMG, they are so good! I did add some ranch and blue cheese dressing to the chicken along with the Buffalo sauce and we had shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, onions and avocado to put on them. Will be making this again for sure.
I didn’t use the ranch dressing mix. Blue cheese is more than enough. Great recipe and easy to make anytime!
This is absolutely delicious!! second time making and it’s just as much a hit this time! On the next time around I will be adding blue cheese to the wraps. So quick and easy to make!
