15 Minute Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wrap Recipe

Hot, spicy, and slathered in ranch, these wraps are the ultimate air-fryer lunch.

I don’t know about you all, but sometimes, lunch can get a bit dull. You know the drill—same old salads, uninspiring leftovers, or a random snack plate that barely feels like a meal. Especially on busy days, I find myself retreating to unexciting salads or just pulling out leftovers from the night before. That’s where my 15-minute Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wrap Recipe saves the day.

Quick, easy, and bursting with flavor, these mouthwatering morsels are the perfect way to spice up your lunch time routine. Not only are they packed with bold buffalo goodness, but they also come together with minimal prep and cleanup—music to my ears on hectic days. Not only that, but with skinny ranch, bread-less chicken, and avocado and romaine as complements, these wraps are as delicious as they are healthy!

Storing leftovers

Wrap your leftover wraps tightly in plastic wrap or store the components separately in airtight containers. These wraps are a great option for meal prep, keeping fresh for up to three days. Just assemble them fresh before eating to keep everything crisp and flavorful.

Savvy tips!

• Add More Heat: For spicier chicken wraps, mix in some hot sauce with your buffalo wing sauce.
• Get Creamy: If you want some more creaminess, add a thin layer of bleu cheese or cream cheese for extra indulgence.
• Meal Prep: Store leftover cooked buffalo chicken in an airtight container. Use it for wraps + salads!
• Use pre-cooked chicken like rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken breasts to save time.

Make it your own: variations and customizations

• Buffalo Chicken Dip Style: Love the creamy, cheesy vibe of buffalo chicken dip? Sprinkle on some cheddar cheese and spread a little cream cheese before rolling up your wrap. It’s like a cheesy party in every bite! Mozzarella, provolone and monterey jack are also great options!
• Low-Carb Option: Want to lighten things up? Swap the tortilla for crisp lettuce wraps or a low carb tortilla. You’ll still get all the bold flavors without the carbs!
• Loaded Wraps: Toss in some crispy bacon, crunchy red onions, or juicy diced tomatoes for even more flavor and texture.
