How to Make High Protein Buffalo Chicken Burritos
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.
Step 2: Add Green Onions
Fold the chopped green onions into the buffalo chicken mixture for added freshness and flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Burritos
Evenly divide the filling among the 8 tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to keep the filling secure.
Step 4: Toast
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 5: Make the Ranch Dip
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Mix with Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and water until creamy. Serve alongside the burritos.
