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!

Why I love this recipe (+ why you’ll love it too!)

This is one of those chicken recipes that checks every box. It’s:

  • Quick: Ready in just 15 minutes.
  • Healthy: Made with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and skinny ranch dressing for extra flavor without extra guilt.
  • Customizable: From shredded carrot and red onions to tangy blue cheese dressing or matchstick carrots, you can tweak it to fit your personal preferences.

Ingredients you’ll need:

For the chicken

  • 1 chicken breast butterflied
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce

For the wrap

  • 1 tortilla
  • romaine lettuce chopped
  • avocado sliced

For the skinny ranch

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 packet ranch dressing or dip seasoning
  • plain plant milk to thin

Here’s how you’ll make my Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wrap:

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees and 15 minutes, letting it warm for two minutes before you add in the chicken breast.
  2. Season butterflied breast with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides, then place into air fryer when the timer reads 13 minutes remaining.
  3. Make skinny ranch dressing, chop romaine, and slice avocado while chicken cooks.
  4. Remove chicken breast and let cool slightly before slicing into chunks.
  5. Place into bowl and drizzle with buffalo sauce, tossing to coat.
  6. Warm up tortilla then layer on buffalo chicken, romaine, skinny ranch, and avocado.
  7. Roll, eat, and enjoy!

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.

FAQs

Absolutely! Shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe. Just warm it up in a large skillet with buffalo wing sauce over medium heat before assembling your wrap.

I love using a soft flour tortilla for this recipe—they’re my go-to for their texture and flavor. If you’re looking for something larger to really pack in the filling, burrito size tortillas are a fantastic option. If you’re looking for a low-carb option, swap in a low-carb tortilla. Gluten-free? No problem—gluten-free tortillas work great, too! Choose whatever fits your style and preferences.

Pair your wraps with potato chips, fresh vegetables, sweet potato fries, or a side of skinny ranch from this recipe!

There’s just something about these easy buffalo chicken wraps. Maybe it’s the spicy flavor, the creamy sauce, or the crispy tortillas—but they never fail to hit the spot. It’s a great recipe for busy weekdays, quick dinners, or whenever you’re craving that perfect balance of bold flavor and simple ingredients.
