1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. If you like, stir in the crumbled blue cheese for an extra tang.
2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the buffalo chicken salad mixture onto each wrap, leaving a border around the edges.
3. Add the Salad: Top the chicken mixture with mixed greens, diced celery, red onion, tomatoes, and shredded carrots. If using, add slices of avocado for a creamy touch.
4. Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll the wrap from the bottom up, tucking in the ingredients as you go. Cut each wrap in half diagonally.
5. Serve: Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Salad Wrap immediately, or pack it up for a delicious lunch on the go. You can serve it with a side of extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
