Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (mild or hot)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
4 low-calorie whole wheat tortillas
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken breast and place in a large bowl.
- Make the Sauce: Whisk together buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Combine: Pour sauce over chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Warm Tortillas: Microwave tortillas for 15-20 seconds to soften.
- Assemble: Place chicken mixture and cheese in the center of each tortilla. Add optional toppings.
- Roll: Fold sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Crisp (Optional): Cook seam-side down in a sprayed skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. Let filling cool before assembling for meal prep to prevent soggy tortillas. Freeze wrapped burritos for up to 3 months.
