1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

# How to Prepare:
01 -
Shred cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
02 -
In a separate small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
03 -
Pour the buffalo-yogurt sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until thoroughly combined and chicken is evenly coated.
04 -
Heat whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to soften for easy rolling.
05 -
Lay each tortilla flat and spoon buffalo chicken mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Add optional toppings if desired.
06 -
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
07 -
For extra texture, spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Cook burritos seam-side down over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
08 -
Slice burritos in half and serve warm with preferred accompaniments.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Prepare chicken in advance for faster assembly, and avoid overfilling burritos to prevent tearing during rolling.
02 -
Assembled burritos are best enjoyed immediately to maintain texture, but can be wrapped for meal prep if tortillas are not overfilled with moist ingredients.
