Description
A delicious and hearty meal that combines shredded chicken with a spicy buffalo sauce, blended with Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and high protein content.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup mild or hot buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 low-calorie whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- Optional Toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, avocado slices, light ranch dressing
Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the buffalo-yogurt sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until thoroughly combined and chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to soften for easy rolling.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spoon buffalo chicken mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- For extra texture, spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Cook burritos seam-side down over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Slice burritos in half and serve warm with preferred accompaniments.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by choosing mild or hot buffalo sauce.
- These burritos can be made ahead of time and reheated.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a different flavor.
