Buffalo Chicken Wraps

One of my most favorite things to eat at college were the buffalo chicken wraps. The actual cafeteria food was less than desirable but in the student center there was this place to order food that we called the crack shack. You could buy all types of snack food and drinks but they also made food, mostly teenager food (hamburgers, french friends, chicken tenders, philly cheese steaks, ect). Their buffalo chicken wraps were a favorite and I am pretty sure I ate one almost every day. I would rotate between the buffalo chicken wraps and the chicken cesear wraps, so yummy! 


It's been a while since I was out of college so I was looking for an old time favorite to make at home. I came across this recipe on eating well and decided to try it out. Holy goodness! Beware though, it's incredibly spicy! My mouth was on fire after eating this delicacy.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1 large tomato, diced
Directions
  1. Whisk hot pepper sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken tenders; cook until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add to the bowl with the hot sauce; toss to coat well.
  3. Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl. Stir in blue cheese.
  4. To assemble wraps: Lay a tortilla on a work surface or plate. Spread with 1 tablespoon blue cheese sauce and top with one-fourth of the chicken, lettuce, celery and tomato. Drizzle with some of the hot sauce remaining in the bowl and roll into a wrap sandwich. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
