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

  1. Shred cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the buffalo-yogurt sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until thoroughly combined and chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Heat whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to soften for easy rolling.
  5. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon buffalo chicken mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Add optional toppings if desired.
  6. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
