This Buffalo chicken wrap has fast food vibes in the BEST kind of way.
Let’s face it, not every night is a Chicken Saltimbocca night. As much as I aspire to be that person, I am also a person who recognizes the simple pleasure of chicken tenders and Buffalo chicken wraps.
What makes them so good? Let’s dig in:
- Big, Bold Flavors. We’ve got Buffalo sauce, then ranch or blue cheese dressing, two options which also deliver big flavors. Plus cheese! And honey, if you like your chicken with some sweet heat. Fans of my Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and Buffalo Chicken Sliders will appreciate these crispy chicken wraps too.
- So Quick. By the time you choose a fast food option and drive there, you could have made and eaten these Buffalo chicken wraps. Heat the chicken tenders in the air fryer while you grab the ingredients out of the refrigerator, then roll them up and devour. (Plus, DIY-ing it means the lettuce won’t get soggy and sad on the drive home!)
5 Star Review
“Delicious! I made these in small tortillas, then a quick fry on the stove to close the opening for a warm wrap. Also I froze several and then reheated them up throughout the week and they were just as good!”

Key Ingredients
You’ll find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below, but here are some notes to keep in mind.
- Chicken Tenders. I like to use Air Fryer Chicken Tenders or Baked Chicken Tenders, but your favorite store-bought tenders (or even Chicken Nuggets) will also work.
- Frank’s Buffalo Sauce. Or use Frank’s Hot Sauce and melted butter.
- Flour Tortillas. You have options here! You can make 8 small wraps with small tortillas, or go big and make 4 large wraps with the burrito-size tortillas. Looking for a way to drop the carbs and up the protein even more? Try making this with my Cottage Cheese Wrap recipe.
- Dressing. Ranch or blue cheese are the classic choices.
- Lettuce. Shredded iceberg lettuce is crisp and refreshing with the spicy chicken, but if you’re not a fan, use romaine. Want even more leafy greens? Try Buffalo Chicken Salad next.
- Cheese. Shredded sharp cheddar or crumbled blue cheese.
- Honey Drizzle. This is optional, but I love the sweet-and-spicy contrast.
- Green Onions. But if you happen to have Quick Pickled Red Onions on hand, they’d also be delish in these Buffalo chicken wraps.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Prep the Tenders. Cook them in the air fryer or oven, then brush them with the Buffalo sauce.
Add the Dressing. Spread it with the back of a spoon.
Layer on the Lettuce and Cheese. Set it right in the center.
Add the Chicken. One piece for a small wrap, two pieces for large.
Drizzle With Honey. Hello, sweet heat!
Wrap It Up. Sprinkle the green onions over the top, then fold in the sides and roll the Buffalo chicken wraps. ENJOY!
What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Wraps
- Fries. Go with traditional Homemade Fries or do something a little different with Zucchini Fries.
- Chips. You could just add a handful of Lays to your plate, or go the extra mile with Air Fryer Potato Chips or Brussels Sprouts Chips.
- Salad. This Healthy Potato Salad has that cool-and-creamy factor going for it to balance your spicy chicken wrap, or try a simple Fruit Salad.
- Carrots and Celery. Don’t forget the Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip!

Ingredients
- 8 cooked chicken tenders* I used my air fryer chicken tenders
- ⅓ cup Frank’s Buffalo Sauce or Frank’s Hot Sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 8 small flour tortillas or 4 large tortillas
- ½ cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 ½ cups shredded iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey optional
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken tenders according to your method of choice*—our favorite is Air Fryer Chicken Tenders or Baked Chicken Tenders.
- While they cook, in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, heat the Buffalo sauce until warm. Place the chicken tenders on a plate and brush both sides liberally with Buffalo sauce.
- To assemble the wraps, lay your tortillas on a work surface. Spread with the dressing, then top with the lettuce, cheese, and 1 to 2 chicken tenders (depending upon if your tortilla is small or large). Drizzle the chicken tenders with the honey (if using). Sprinkle with green onions. Roll and DEVOUR!
Notes
- *TO COOK CHICKEN TENDERS: For a crispy Buffalo chicken wrap, make Baked Chicken Tenders, Air Fryer Chicken Tenders, or use your favorite brand of frozen chicken tenders. For an unbreaded option, salt and pepper the chicken tenders, then saute in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil to prevent stacking. Cook on both sides until the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
- TO STORE: If possible, store the components of your chicken wraps separately for maximum freshness. They’ll last in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’ve assembled the wraps, store them in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat the chicken tenders in a 350ºF oven until warmed through or in the air fryer. (The microwave works too, but they won’t be as crispy.) Assemble as directed. To reheat assembled wraps, I recommend removing the chicken and reheating it, then tucking it back into the wrap.
Glad I found your site. Love the meal plans and the variety of it. As a busy single mom, your recipes are so helpful. I love this chicken wrap. It was so easy to make and extremely tasty. My boys actually wanted more. The hot sauce adds just the right amount of spice to the wrap. Thank you, Erin! Looking forward to more of your recipes.
That makes me so happy to hear, thank you Gemma!
Delicious! I made these in small tortillas, then a quick fry on the stove to close the opening for a warm wrap. Also I froze several and then reheated them up throughout the week and they were just as good!
So glad you enjoyed them, Kirsten! Great idea freezing them!
It is so simple but it also tastes great! I was kinda worried at first using Frank’s hot sauce coz I thought it would be too much for me, but it was not that super spicy and I dipped them in ranch. Superb!
Thank you Madelyn!
I laid out all the ingredients and let my friends make their own wraps during game night. Everyone loved building their own, and it was fun to see who made the spiciest version. Big hit!
Love it! Thank you Amber!
Cooking with my kids is always messy, but this was worth it. They got to help wrap their chicken and they enjoyed it. We ended up with a super tasty, family-friendly meal.
So glad to hear, Katrina! Thank you!
I wasn’t expecting much but wow, this is tasty. I added a little extra cheddar and warmed the tortilla a bit before rolling it. The buffalo sauce isn’t too crazy, so it works for anyone who doesn’t love super spicy food.
So glad you enjoyed it, Cheryl! Thank you!
