  • Build individual portions. Divide the filling among the wraps, tortillas, or leaves specified in the recipe.
  • A defined yield. The card makes 6 servings. Use its serving control to scale ingredient amounts, then reassess pan space and cooking time.

Ingredient notes

  • Measured portions. Use a kitchen scale for the gram amounts in the card, especially cooked shredded chicken and crumbled blue cheese.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large flour tortillas, about 10 inches
  • 10.5822 oz cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 90 g crumbled blue cheese or dairy-free blue-style cheese
  • 60 g grated cheddar cheese or dairy-free cheddar cheese
  • 60 g tortilla chips
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 green onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 head lettuce, shredded; use as needed
  • Cooking oil spray
  • Ranch or sour cream, optional for serving

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Kitchen scale
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Combine chicken, buffalo sauce, celery, and green onion. Warm the tortillas just enough to make them flexible.
  2. Divide the filling among the tortillas, layering lettuce, blue cheese, chicken mixture, chips, and Cheddar in each center.
  3. Fold the tortilla edges inward in overlapping sections to enclose the filling.
  4. Cook seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes. Turn and cook until the second side is crisp and the filling is hot. Work in batches.

Notes

Contains wheat and dairy. Serve promptly so the chips remain crisp. This folded chip-filled crunchwrap is distinct from the simpler avocado wrap.
Inspired by Chris Collins.
Estimated nutrition is for one of 6 equal portions. Calculated with six large flour tortillas at about 70 g each and all of the crunchy filling. Optional ranch and sour cream are excluded.
Cheese options: Choose the dairy-free cheese if needed, and check the other ingredients for your dietary needs. Nutrition shown uses the original dairy cheese; another product changes the estimate. Flavor, texture and melting can vary by product.
Storage: Best eaten immediately for a crisp tortilla and chips. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), covered at 40°F or below, for up to 3–4 days. Reheat until the center reaches 165°F; the lettuce and chips will soften.

Tips for this recipe

  • Prepare the measured ingredients before heating the pan or assembling the dish. Follow the written order so ingredients are ready when they are needed.
  • When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.

Serving suggestions

Divide the filling evenly among the specified wraps, tortillas, or lettuce leaves. Keep extra sauce and toppings separate so each serving is easy to portion.

Storage and make-ahead

Refrigerate perishable portions in shallow, covered containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use cooked leftovers within 3–4 days. If reheating cooked leftovers, heat them to 165°F throughout.

Common questions

Should I weigh ingredients before or after cooking?

Use the stage written next to each ingredient. Raw, cooked, drained, and dry weights are different; keep that distinction when measuring a portion or using the nutrition estimate.

One serving provides an estimated 444 calories, 27.7 g protein, 44.5 g total carbohydrate, 16.9 g fat and 2.9 g fiber. One serving is 1/6 of the finished recipe.
