What is Buffalo Flavor?

Buffalo flavor is a tangy and spicy flavor that stems from the popularity of hot sauce. It has been made famous through traditional buffalo wings, but it can be used in many recipes.

It is the combination of cayenne pepper, butter, vinegar, and other seasonings. Sometimes it contains garlic powder, salt, and onion powder. There can even be a  splash of Worcestershire sauce. There is a reason that so many people love it.

Add a little heat to your next dinner with this buffalo chicken lettuce wraps recipe!

What Lettuce is Best for Chicken Wraps?

Bib Lettuce is the best lettuce to use for these wraps. It has the perfect size and has  a mild flavor which is perfect to provide a base for all of the spices in this recipe. Bib lettuce wraps are also sturdy and easy to keep together.

The traditional way to make this is with Bib Lettuce, but you can substitute with Iceberg or your favorite fresh lettuce.

What Goes Well with Buffalo Chicken?

Buffalo Chicken goes well with a lot of different ingredients because buffalo flavor is so versatile. You can mix it up with other flavors and make your own unique taste.

Some great mixes are as follows:

Blue cheese crumbles or blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, celery sticks, carrots, or cucumbers. That is because these ingredients are known as cooling vegetables and will take away from the heat from the chicken buffalo lettuce wraps.

Are Lettuce Wraps Good for Meal Prep?

Wraps are great for meal prepping. They normally keep 2-3 days in the refrigerator and you can eat them hot or cold. When you make this recipe ahead of time, you are able to bring your lunch or dinner together in as few as 5 minutes.

Plus, if you use the wax paper to wrap around your wrap and secure it in place, your wrap will stay together in one place, making it ideal for a quick work lunch. Just add other low-carb sides  and you will have the perfect easy meal idea.
