Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add chicken seasoning with salt, pepper, smoked paprika powder, and garlic powder. Add the oil and mix it thoroughly.
  2. Let the chicken marinate for two hours.
  3. In a pan, heat some oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8 to 9 minutes until fully cooked. Add the cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Stir until well combined and remove from heat.
  4. Make the cilantro lime crema: Blend cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice in a blender until you get a creamy, smooth sauce.
  5. Warm the wrap on both sides. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by chicken, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Add cilantro lime crema sauce and more buffalo sauce if desired. Wrap and serve warm.
Tip: Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge and reheat best in a skillet, not the microwave.
