Buffalo Chicken Wraps

A few years back a co-worker of mine made buffalo chicken dip. Enter my husband's new obsession - soon it seemed that anything that had some buffalo sauce in it was the best thing to hit his lips. I'll even so much as venture to say that one point, a friend of his considered dipping his retainer in the mixture to just always have the taste. Gross, I know, I didn't marry the friend, ok? I've had a million buffalo chicken wraps in my life (ok, I'll tell the truth now, I've had probably five) and they're all the same.  But what if...just what if, we added a bit of jazz to them?  I have two versions of this, the healthy, and the "I love bacon fat" not-so-healthy.  Both versions are great and ingredients/steps can be substituted from one version to the next. 

A great buffalo chicken wrap should be chalked full of chicken (obviously), lettuce, and plenty of spicy buffalo sauce and just as my tangy ranch. Bacon? Why not some bacon?! 

Bacon Buffalo Chicken Wrap

1/2 lb chicken breast, cubed 
1 TBSP Weber Montreal Chicken Seasoning
1 TSP Garlic, more to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
5 pieces of bacon (omit to save some calories and if you're watching your fat intake)
Lettuce, chopped
2 - 4 TBSP Franks Red Hot Sauce (depending on level of spice, should be enough to give it an orange color and some flavor)
1TBSP Butter
4 TBSP Ranch Dressing 
2 C Lettuce shredded
2 Large Flour Tortillas (can also use El Milagro Low Carb to save some carbs and calories)
1/2 C Shredded Cheddar Cheese

In small fry pan, fry up bacon until crisp.  Set aside to cool. Here is where the fat or lower fat part comes in, you can either saute your chicken right in the bacon fat, or heat olive oil on high and quick saute the chicken that way.  Either way you chose, add chicken to preferred heated "oil" and then add montreal chicken seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper and mix. Cook chicken until juices run dry and meat is white (approximately 15 minutes). 



In small bowl, melt tbsp of butter with the desired amount of hot sauce. Add to chicken in pan and continue to saute until all the chicken is coated.  In separate bowl, add lettuce and ranch, divide among each tortilla.Divide chicken mix between two tortillas. Add cheese divided among each tortilla, crumble bacon for each wrap. Wrap like a burrito and serve (I always like a little extra ranch on the side for mine).

***Keep in mind that this can be made with more or less hot sauce, lettuce or dressing but these are the desired amounts to get the perfect blend of flavors!
