Home > Lunches: Buffalo Chicken Wraps
These are Amanda’s go-to lunches. She’s an elementary school principal, which means her days are packed and she’s on her feet most of the time — often without a real lunch break. I wanted to make sure she had something she genuinely enjoys, that’s easy to grab and eat quickly. She’s always loved buffalo hot sauce, so this became an easy win.
It took a few rounds of trial and error to get these just right. I used to add baby spinach, but it didn’t freeze well and came out soggy once thawed. We also wanted to keep it on the low-carb side, so finding the right wrap mattered.
A few lessons learned:
It’s easy to accidentally order the wrong size wrap when doing grocery pickup — “soft taco” size won’t cut it. Make sure it says burrito size on the label. After testing a few brands, the best ones by far are the Olé Mexican Foods Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Keto Certified Flour Tortilla Wraps. They’re low in carbs, high in fiber, and flexible enough to roll without tearing.
Once assembled, I wrap each one in parchment paper, then in foil, and store them in the freezer. Amanda just grabs one on her way out the door, and it’s ready to go by lunchtime.
