Dressing and Optional Additions

Instructions
- Mix the chicken: Add the cooked chicken to a mixing bowl and pour in the buffalo sauce. Toss thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.

- Add dressing: Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of yogurt Caesar dressing over each assembled wrap, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of each tortilla towards the center, then roll tightly like a burrito to seal the filling inside.

- Warming the wraps is optional; they taste great both cold and hot.
- Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats but is optional depending on preference.
