Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (about 260g)
1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (80ml)
2 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened (56g)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (85g)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (about 20g)
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25cm; use whole wheat or low-carb if desired)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (2g)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Spray oil or olive oil, for pan-searing (optional)
Optional: diced celery
Optional: chopped baby spinach
Optional: thinly sliced jalapeños

Instructions

Shred or chop the cooked chicken breast. If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred with two forks or a hand mixer.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, green onions, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly coated and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds, or heat in a dry skillet for about 10 seconds per side to prevent cracking.
Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Add optional extras like celery, spinach, or jalapeños if desired. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with oil. Place burritos seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
Let burritos cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Serve whole or cut in half. Add extra buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, or green onions on the side if desired.

Notes

Don’t overstuff the burritos to prevent bursting. Warm tortillas before rolling to avoid cracking. For meal prep, let the filling cool before assembling. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt. Adjust buffalo sauce for desired spice level. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate substitutes.
