Grilled Buffalo-Style Chicken Wraps
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6 oz/150–175 g each)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
- ½ tsp (2mL) salt
- ¼ tsp (1mL) coursely ground black pepper
- 2 medium stalks celery
- 3 green onions with tops
- 1 medium carrot, peeled
- 1 tbsp (30mL) Cayenne pepper sauce
- ½ cup (125mL) light mayonnaise
- 2 oz (60 g) blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 3 (11"/28-cm) flour tortillas (see Cook’s Tip)
Directions
- Pre-heat Signature Nonstick Grill Pan and the Grill Press over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Brush the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken using the grill press for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and turn stovetop off. Cool the chicken for 5 minutes and dice into ½” (1 cm) pieces.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice celery and green onions. Grate the carrot into short strips. Combine the celery, green onions and carrot in a small mixing bowl.
- In a medium glass bowl, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and sauce and mix well. Add chicken to the bowl and stir to coat.
- To assemble wraps, spoon one-third of the chicken mixture widthwise over center of one tortilla and top with one-third of the vegetable mixture. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly into a burrito. Repeat two times for a total of three wraps.
- Reheat the Grill Pan and the Grill Press over medium-low heat for 1-3 minutes. Place the wraps in pan. Top with press and cook 3–4 minutes per side or until grill marks appear. Remove the wraps from the pan. Cut in half on a bias and serve immediately.

Cook's Tips:
Removing the chicken at 160°F (71 °C) helps prevent overcooking. The chicken temperature will rise to 165°F (74 °C) during cooling.
Warming the tortillas will make them easier to roll up. To warm tortillas, place them between paper towels and microwave on HIGH 30–45 seconds or until warm.
