Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by shredding your cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces in a large mixing bowl. Ensure the chicken is tender and warm.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and plain Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Add in garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until evenly coated. Set aside while you warm your tortillas.
  4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften.
  5. Lay one tortilla flat, add a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture, sprinkle with reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and add any optional toppings. Roll tightly to secure the filling.
  6. For extra crispiness, heat a non-stick skillet and grill the assembled burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  7. Slice the burritos in half diagonally and serve warm on a platter with your favorite dipping sauce or side.
