1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

# Steps:
01 -
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
03 -
Pour the buffalo-yogurt sauce over the shredded chicken and toss until the chicken is thoroughly coated and evenly mixed.
04 -
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until pliable for rolling.
05 -
Lay each tortilla flat and spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto the center. Top with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and optional toppings, if using.
06 -
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to fully enclose the filling.
07 -
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.
08 -
Slice the burritos in half and serve warm with preferred accompaniments.
# Notes:
01 -
Warming the tortillas before assembly prevents cracking and ensures easier rolling.
02 -
For a spicier kick, increase the proportion of hot buffalo sauce or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
