How to Serve and Pair:

Serving Suggestions: Buffalo Chicken Wraps are perfect for a hearty lunch or a casual dinner. They can be served with a side of crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. For a more relaxed setting, these wraps can be a great addition to picnics or outdoor gatherings.

Pairing: To complement the spicy and tangy flavor of the buffalo sauce, consider pairing these wraps with a cold beer, preferably a lager or a pale ale, which can help balance the heat. For a non-alcoholic option, a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade would be refreshing and help to counteract the spiciness.

Dietary Information:

  • Contains Gluten and Dairy: The flour tortillas and blue cheese in this recipe contain gluten and dairy, respectively.
  • Substitution Options: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas. To make the wraps dairy-free, omit the blue cheese and use a dairy-free ranch dressing.
  • Protein-Rich: These wraps are high in protein, thanks to the chicken, making them a satisfying and filling meal option.

Make-Ahead Tips:

  • Marinate in Advance: The chicken can be marinated in buffalo sauce up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This not only saves time but also allows the flavors to infuse more deeply into the chicken.
  • Prep the Vegetables: Julienned carrots, sliced celery, and red onion can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in airtight containers.
  • Assembly: For the best taste and texture, assemble the wraps close to serving time to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy. However, you can have all the components ready to go for quick assembly.
  • Storage: If you have leftover assembled wraps, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a day. Note that the tortilla may soften, so it's best to enjoy them fresh when possible.
