Recipe of the Week – Buffalo Chicken Wrap

Are you sick of having your regular old sandwich for lunch every day?  You’re probably not alone.  One way that I have began to combat this, without spending all my money on going out to eat, is to prepare something the night before that is microwave friendly.  If your food keeps well, you could even be able to use it a few times throughout the week.

One of my favorite meals to make with this technique as of late is the buffalo chicken wrap.  As you all know, baking chicken is a lengthy process.  If you bake enough chicken to last a few meals you will be able to eliminate this step.  Obviously the recipe  varies depending on your tastes and preferences, but following is what I have found to be the perfect combination for a great wrap.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap

-What You’ll Need

  • 1 Flour Tortilla
  • Spicy&Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Ranch Dressing
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Black Olives

-Preparation

  • Start by placing the flour tortilla on a plate
  • Distribute buffalo sauce over center of shell as desired
  • Dice chicken and place in center of shell.  I suggest a row roughly two inches wide and leaving roughly two inches at the bottom of shell to leave room for wrapping
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese over top of the chicken generously

At this stage you will want to place the wrap in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.  This will melt the cheese and warm the chicken as well as soften up the shell to make for easy wrapping.  Once out of the microwave..

  • Spread desired amount of ranch on shell along both edges of the row of chicken
  • Cover row of chicken with lettuce (Spinach also works very well)
  • Slice black olives and place over lettuce as desired
  • Fold bottom of shell over chicken, etc to close the end and prevent the ingredients from falling out
  • Fold the sides over the ingredients and enjoy!

Protip: Put your extra chicken in a container  in the fridge and save for your next wrap.
