Ingredients

For the buffalo chicken

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
1/3 cup no-sugar-added buffalo hot sauce such as Frank's, to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for extra flavor
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste

For assembling the wraps

4 low-carb cauliflower tortillas or large romaine lettuce leaves about 6 to 8 inches wide
1/4 cup keto-friendly ranch dressing plus more to taste
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese low-moisture, part-skim
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup shredded green cabbage or romaine for extra crunch, optional
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese optional, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish, optional

Instructions

If your chicken is not yet cooked, season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper and cook them in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, then let cool slightly and shred with two forks.
Add the melted butter, buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a large skillet and whisk until the sauce is smooth and starting to simmer over medium-low heat.
Stir the shredded chicken into the warm buffalo sauce, tossing until every piece is well coated and heated through, then taste and adjust seasoning or heat level with more hot sauce if desired.
Prepare the wrap base by laying out the cauliflower tortillas or romaine leaves on a cutting board, patting the lettuce dry if it is damp so the wraps do not become soggy.
Spoon a portion of the warm buffalo chicken down the center of each tortilla or lettuce leaf, dividing the mixture evenly among the four wraps.
Drizzle each portion of buffalo chicken with ranch dressing, then sprinkle with shredded cheese, sliced celery, and shredded cabbage or romaine if using for extra crunch.
Top the wraps with crumbled blue cheese and chopped parsley or chives if desired, keeping the fillings in a narrow line to make rolling easier.
Fold in the sides of the cauliflower tortillas and roll them up tightly into wraps, or fold the romaine leaves over the filling like a taco or cigar shape, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Serve the keto buffalo chicken wraps immediately while the chicken is warm with extra ranch and celery sticks on the side, or refrigerate the buffalo chicken separately and assemble just before eating for meal prep.

Notes

To keep these wraps as keto-friendly as possible, choose a buffalo sauce and ranch dressing that are clearly labeled no-sugar-added and check ingredient lists for hidden starches. For the lowest carb count, opt for romaine or butter lettuce leaves instead of tortillas, and go lighter on the celery and cabbage if you are very close to your daily carb limit. The buffalo chicken mixture stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheats quickly in a skillet over low heat. You can easily double the recipe for meal prep, and you can swap shredded rotisserie chicken for a faster shortcut as long as it does not contain sugary glazes. Adjust the buffalo sauce to make the wraps mildly spicy or very fiery to suit your taste.
