Layer the tortilla with crisp lettuce to provide a fresh and crunchy foundation. Next comes the star of the show – grilled buffalo chicken. Continue to layer with diced red onion, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled feta cheese. Finish off with a generous drizzle of ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing over the ingredients.

What makes a Grill Buffalo Chicken Wrap so great is its versatility. You can customize the topping any way you like. Replace the feta with blue cheese crumbles, add avocado slices for buttery texture, or even crumble bacon for a savory twist. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
That’s a wrap…almost!
To complete your masterpiece, take the left and right sides of the tortilla and fold them towards the center. Starting from the bottom, fold the edge of the tortilla over the ingredients, tucking it under the filling. Continue rolling from the bottom to the top until you have a secure and tight wrap. The folded sides should keep the filling from falling out.
If needed, you can secure the wrap with toothpicks or wrap it in parchment paper to hold everything together.
