Step-by-Step: Let’s Make It Happen
1. Marinate the Chicken
Start by tossing your chicken breasts in buffalo sauce and let them marinate while you prep the rest.
Tip: Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to soak up all that spicy flavor.
2. Slice Up Those Sweet Potatoes
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into fry-shaped sticks. Toss them with olive oil and your spice mix—paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a little cayenne if you’re feeling bold.
3. Bake Those Beauties
Pop the fries in a 425°F oven for about 25–30 minutes. Flip halfway through to get both sides golden and crispy.
4. Cook the Chicken
While those fries are crisping up, grill or pan-fry the chicken on medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
Let it rest before slicing—juicy chicken is happy chicken.
5. Whip Up the Creamy Dressing
Grab a small bowl and mix together the Greek yogurt, mayo, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This dressing is creamy, tangy, and ties the whole wrap together.
6. Assemble Like a Pro
Spread a spoonful of dressing on a tortilla, layer on shredded lettuce, sliced buffalo chicken, and diced tomatoes. Fold in the sides and roll it up tight. Pro tip? Give it a little sear in the pan for that crispy tortilla edge.
7. Mix That Coleslaw
In a separate bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, vinegar, honey, mustard, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Crunchy, creamy, and cool—a perfect sidekick to those spicy wraps.
8. Serve and Savor
Plate it up with a generous scoop of coleslaw and a side of those crispy sweet potato fries. Maybe add a drizzle of extra buffalo sauce if you’re feelin’ fiery.
