Ingredients (Serves 2; makes 4 loaded wraps) Buffalo Chicken
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 10 oz/285 g; breast or thigh)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or ghee), melted
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
Wrap & Toppings
8 large butter or romaine lettuce leaves (patted very dry)
1/2 cup very thinly sliced celery
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (about 1 oz) or shredded cheddar
Optional (choose your vibe)
2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing (keto-friendly)
Make the Buffalo sauce: In a skillet over low heat, whisk melted butter, hot sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until glossy and slightly thickened, 1–2 minutes. Tip: A brief simmer helps the sauce cling to the chicken.
Warm the chicken: Add shredded chicken to the skillet and toss until evenly coated and heated through, 2–3 minutes. If it looks thin, simmer another minute to reduce.
Prepare the wraps: Layer two lettuce leaves for added strength. Pat dry well—dry leaves = crisp, non-soggy wraps.
Assemble: Divide the Buffalo chicken among 4 lettuce cups. Top with celery, green onion, and blue cheese. Drizzle with ranch dressing (if desired) and include avocado slices to taste.
Serve immediately: Eat right away for the best crunch.
Tips:
Crisp factor: Ice-cold, well-dried lettuce keeps the wraps snappy.
Heat level: Use less hot sauce for mild or add a pinch of cayenne for extra kick.

Conclusion / Pro Tips
Serve these wraps with extra celery sticks or a simple cucumber salad to keep things ultra low-carb. For meal prep, store the Buffalo chicken, chopped veggies, and lettuce separately; assemble just before eating for the best texture. The chicken lasts 3–4 days when stored in an airtight container Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warm, then toss with a splash of hot sauce if needed.
