Mastering the Perfect Buffalo Chicken Crunchwrap
Chicken Options: Use rotisserie chicken for ultimate convenience, or cook chicken breast in a slow cooker with buffalo sauce for maximum flavor infusion and tender, easily-shredded meat.
Heat Level Control: Adjust buffalo sauce amount to your preference - use 1/2 cup for mild, 3/4 cup for medium, or add cayenne pepper for extra heat. Mix with ranch dressing to mellow the spice.
Crunch Factor: If tostada shells aren't available, crush large tortilla chips or use crispy hash brown patties as a delicious alternative crunchy layer.
Sealing Success: Make sure your pleats overlap slightly when folding to prevent filling from leaking during cooking. The small tortilla on top helps create a secure seal.
Storage and Reheating: Assemble crunchwraps ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking. Reheat leftovers in a dry skillet over medium heat or air fryer at 375°F for 3-4 minutes per side.
Pro Grilling Tip: Don't rush the cooking process - medium heat ensures the tortilla crisps perfectly while the cheese melts completely without burning the exterior.

Instructions

01
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, tossing until chicken is evenly coated. Set aside.
02
In a separate bowl, mix coleslaw with ranch dressing and lemon juice, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This adds cooling crunch to balance the heat.
03
Lay one large burrito-size tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Place 3/4 cup buffalo chicken mixture in the center, forming a circular mound about 4 inches in diameter.
04
Sprinkle 1/4 cup each of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the chicken, then place one tostada shell on top to create the signature crunch layer.
05
Add 1/2 cup of ranch coleslaw on top of the tostada, spreading it evenly, then top with another 1/4 cup each of both cheeses.
06
Place a small 6-inch tortilla over the filling to seal the top. Working around the crunchwrap, fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the center, pleating as you go to create a sealed hexagonal package.
07
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Once melted, carefully place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet.
08
Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula. Carefully flip and cook another 3-4 minutes on the second side until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
09
Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing in half diagonally. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
