Cheesy buffalo chicken burritos remind me of the first time I wanted to make something spicy, cheesy, and quick for a late-night dinner because I was craving comfort food with a little kick. I mixed shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, wrapped it in a tortilla with melted cheese, and instantly fell in love with how easy and flavorful it was.

Since then this has been one of my favorite wraps to make because it combines spicy buffalo flavor, creamy cheese, and fresh toppings all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Every bite is packed with tangy, cheesy goodness, and I am thrilled to share this simple yet satisfying recipe with you.
