Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.25 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast diced into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup buffalo hot sauce such as Frank's
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10 inch
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup caesar dressing store bought or homemade
  • 1/3 cup shaved parmesan
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar

Method
 

  1. **Season.** Toss diced chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated.
  2. **Sear.** Heat olive oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer and do not stir for 90 seconds. Toss and cook 4 to 5 more minutes until fully cooked and golden.
  3. **Sauce.** Pull the pan off the heat. Whisk buffalo sauce with melted butter and pour over chicken. Toss to coat.
  4. **Warm.** Heat tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds wrapped in a damp towel until pliable.
  5. **Layer.** Spread caesar dressing across the center of each tortilla. Add romaine, parmesan, cheddar, and a quarter of the buffalo chicken to each one.
  6. **Roll.** Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half on a diagonal and serve immediately.

Notes

Use chicken thigh meat instead of breast for extra juicy results. Warm the tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave before rolling so they bend without cracking. Add a paper towel inside the wrap if you are packing for lunch to absorb extra moisture.
