Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Franks RedHot Sauce
  • 1 packet Dry Ranch Seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 4 large burrito size flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder

Instructions

Cooking Instructions:

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks or your hands and place in a mixing bowl.
  • To the shredded chicken, add the cottage cheese, Franks RedHot Sauce, dry ranch seasoning, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  • Lay out the flour tortillas, divide the buffalo chicken mixture among them, fold the sides over, and roll tightly from the bottom to the top.
  • In the same skillet, place the burritos seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot with garnishes like ranch dressing or green onions.
