Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wraps are a great choice for lunch or dinner. Each wrap is stuffed with a combination of cheeses and zesty Buffalo sauce for intense flavor, and celery for added crunch. They are packed with protein making them not only delicious, but also filling.
If you’ve visited Delicious Little Bites before, you’ve likely come across one of the many Buffalo chicken recipes on the site. You may have also come across one of several recipes featuring Mission Foods Tortillas. Being a huge fan of both, it was only a matter of time before these two favorites came together.
This Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wraps recipe features new Mission® Protein Tortilla Wraps. These tortillas are made with pea protein for added plant-based protein health benefits. They are soft, pliable, and delicious. Each tortilla has 7 grams of protein, only 3 net carbs, and is high in fiber. They are also a great option for vegetarians.
Why This Recipe Works
- These wraps boast so much flavor! The combination of cheeses, Buffalo sauce, and celery make these wraps super tasty and zesty! A little dip in blue Cheese or ranch dressing can balance out the spice nicely, if preferred. Grilling the wraps also gives them a nice toasted flavor.
- It’s a great recipe for weekly meal prep since you can easily and quickly make the Buffalo chicken filling. It’s also a great recipe to use up any leftover chicken that you might have for lunches the next day.
- This recipe is packed with protein (which means it’s filling) and can easily be made low carb and keto friendly. Mission® Protein Tortilla Wraps have 7 grams of protein and only 3 net carbs per wrap.

How to Make Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Prep!
If you are not using leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken, you will need to cook your chicken first, then shred it.
Shred the cheddar cheese and cut the celery into 3-inch sticks. Alternatively, you can dice the celery if you’d rather mix it into the Buffalo chicken.
Tip: it is recommended to shred the cheddar cheese from a block for the best melting.
Create!
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and Buffalo sauce.
Cook until the cream cheese is fully melted, and everything is hot and well blended. This takes about 5 minutes or so. Stir frequently to prevent the cheese from getting stuck to the pan.
Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Divide the slices of celery evenly between 6 wraps. If you choose to dice the celery, simply mix it into the Buffalo chicken instead.
Top each tortilla with an even amount of the Buffalo chicken mixture.
Fold in the top and bottom edges of the tortilla, then the sides.
Wipe out the skillet, and return it to medium heat.
Add the wraps, and grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Present!
Serve with additional celery sticks, or side of blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping, if desired.

Tips and Techniques for the Best Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wraps
- Use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken to make preparing this recipe even simpler. You can always bake the chicken in the oven or pressure cook it for easy shredding, if you prefer.
- You can dice the celery, rather than cut it into sticks, if you prefer to mix it into the Buffalo chicken.
- Shred the cheddar cheese from a block for the best melting. Pre-shredded bagged cheese often contains a starch to prevent it from sticking to itself. This can cause the melted cheese to be grainy.
