Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or similar)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or ranch dressing
Optional Toppings
- Chopped green onions
- Diced celery
- Crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the burritos.
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese or ranch dressing until well mixed and creamy.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out the low-carb tortillas flat. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over each tortilla, then spoon the buffalo chicken mixture on top.
- Add Optional Toppings: Include any optional ingredients such as chopped green onions, diced celery, or crumbled blue cheese for added flavor and texture.
- Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling, forming a burrito shape.
- Toast Burritos: Place each burrito seam-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the outside is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Slice the burritos in half and serve hot with extra ranch dressing or buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves prep time and adds great flavor.
- Low-carb tortillas keep the meal lighter and suitable for low-carb diets.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control spice level.
- Optional toppings add freshness and texture but can be omitted if preferred.
- To ensure even toasting, press down lightly on the burritos with a spatula when cooking.
- Serve immediately for best taste and crispness.
