Look, I’m not usually one to jump on trends, especially a food trend, but this folded wrap thing that’s going around on TikTok? It’s basically a new form of a quesadilla…and it’s a pretty genius idea. Have you guys seen it? You just take a tortilla, divide up your fillings between the four quarters of the wrap, then fold it all together into a triangle.
Confused? Sorry, that probably makes no sense above, but if you look at my photos below, hopefully, you’ll understand. It is very easy!
Anyway, I’m not really on TikTok, though I probably should be, but when I saw this folded wrap concept, I instantly had the idea to create a buffalo chicken wrap. Instead of hesitating and second-guessing myself (like I always do), I just made a few to see how they might turn out. And you know, not only was it really easy to do, but it was fun. And the buffalo chicken filling sure is delicious.
So I decided I’d create the recipe here for you. Thank you TikTok for inspiring this one!
(the four corners of the wrap)
Aside from TikTok inspiring this recipe, I also drew some inspo from my younger brother, Red. He’s in town all month and he loves any food doused in a little buffalo sauce. Every time he’s here in Colorado, he begs me to make him buffalo cauliflower. It’s one of his favorite dinners.
I’m the biggest sucker when it comes to my brothers and the need to please them whenever they ask for food, especially Red. I just love when they’re excited to have me cook for them!
Since I knew Red would be around, I figured a buffalo chicken wrap was really the only way to go. It was the right move. My family devoured these. My dad said it’s all about the crispy tortillas, the cheese, and the sauces. Altogether…delicious!

Making these folded wraps is easy, here is how I do it…
First things first, start with the buffalo chicken. I shredded up a couple of chicken breasts and tossed them with homemade buffalo sauce, yogurt (for creaminess), and fresh herbs. Most buffalo chicken dip/fillings are made with cream cheese, but I wanted to make these wraps on the healthier side, so I swapped in yogurt. Worked just perfectly.
Once the filling is mixed, mix up a quick homemade ranch….but don’t make it your average ranch.
I used fresh cilantro and plenty of lime in place of the usual herb mix and stirred in some pickled jalapeños for a spicy, tangy kick. This is the perfect sauce to swirl into each wrap.
Now assemble.
I took a lot of photos so you could see how this is done, but guys it’s easy. You make a cut down the center of your tortillas, then add the chicken to one corner, and the greens to another corner, and finally the cheese to another. Fold it all up, then pan-fry.
So you’ve got….
One-quarter of buffalo chicken.
Another quarter wrap of greens n’ things.
A quarter full of ranch.
And finally a quarter full of cheese.
Fold it all up into one triangle.
As the wraps cook, the cheese on the outer layer melts out a bit and the most magical thing happens. The cheese melts onto the skillet and becomes crispy and almost fried. It’s really good.
And then, everything else cooks together into a wrap that’s crispy on the outside, but cheesy and saucy inside.
The verdict? Red said he probably likes these more than buffalo chicken. They’re a mix of two of his favorite foods, buffalo chicken and quesadillas, so naturally, he loved these. As did everyone else. They’re pretty hard to beat.
Nothing fancy, just really delicious food. Excited to have this recipe on hand for an easy dinner. It’s just one of those meals that everyone loves!

Pickled jalapeno’s? Not sure how you do that?
Hey Judy,
You can purchase pickled jalapeños at your local grocery store:) xTieghan
These were SO GOOD! I used the siete foods tortillas though and they completely fell apart. I had just taken them out of the fridge. For next time should I heat up the tortillas first? Or maybe I just overstuffed them? I could drink this dressing too it is amazing.
Hey Katy,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! So sorry you had issues with the shells, warming them a bit does help! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
Great easy recipe! I used rotisserie chicken and have some left over for later in the week. I think next time I will reduce the dill as I thought it was a little overpowering, but overall we loved it. We especially like the ranch and have plenty to use on other dishes this week!
Hey Geneviev,

Hey Karyn,

I am not a cilantro fan. Would parsley be my best option/substitute for the jalapeno ranch sauce?
Hey Amy,
Yes, parsley would work well! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi there! This recipe sounds amazing! What would I do to make this not so spicy?
Hey Ali,
You can reduce your poblano peppers, but this is a pretty mild recipe. I hope you love them! xTieghan
Delish – came together really fast (though, we cheated by using good quality store bought blue cheese dressing in place of the homemade ranch). A winner to add to the rotation!
Hey Suzie,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
These look amazing. I just received both your cookbooks this week and made your hummus Alfredo with roasted cayenne spiced broccoli- it was amazing. The whole family loved the broccoli the most. Yum.
You should definitely put that wrap on tik tok. It’s really easy and fun. My dog (phoebethetinychihuahua) is on there and she has two million views after just a couple weeks! I really like the platform. You will grow your following for sure!
Love your recipes. You are the best of the best at creating new takes on old favorites. Thanks for doing what you do!

Made these tonight with jalapeños we grew and pickled. Super yummy! A meal in itself!
Hey Julie,
I am so glad the recipe worked out for you! Thanks for making it:) Happy Friday! xTieghan
Hey Tieghan,
It looks like this recipe is slightly messed up either in the ingredients or step one. You have the garlic powder and onion powder listed under the ranch, but you have those two added in with the chicken in the first step? Just some clarification would be helpful.
Hey Owen,
So sorry the recipe has been adjusted, there is no onion or garlic powder in the chicken. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Oh my word!! I’m eating these as I’m sending this message. These are amazing!!! Thanks for such a great recipe!

OK just read this and my mouth is watering. As a vegetarian, I’ll be subbing Tofu for chicken. The flavours are ones that my fam loves.
