Oh my gosh school starts in 4 weeks! 26 days and counting. I’m not ready. I feel like summer just started and here we go with another school year. When will time slow down? My kids are growing up way to fast and life is whizzing by at a rapid speed.
I’m also not ready to go school shopping or get up early every morning. I’m a late night sleeper and hate getting up before 9am. What are you? Some people like to get up early and some like to sleep in. I’ve never been one of those kids that got up early. My mom was always having to wake me up. My kids are just like me too. I’ve been letting them sleep in until 10am every day. They’re in for a rude awakening when they have to start getting up at 7am in 26 days.
Do you think I should start getting them up early now to get accustomed or do I let them enjoy their last few weeks and sleep in? What do you do with your kids? And if you don’t have kids, what would you do for yourself? I’m curious and would love to hear other people’s thoughts.
With school fast approaching, I wanted to create some lunch recipes for you all. I want them to be easy, but also delicious. I have a few picky eaters in my house that don’t like school cafeteria food, so I needed to make sure that these wraps were good. I also wanted to make sure they would last in a lunch box and were healthy. Hence the grilled chicken and buffalo ranch sauce drizzle. 😉
Normally buffalo chicken is fried, but I wanted the chicken to be healthy. So I grilled the chicken then mixed some buffalo wing sauce and ranch together. Yum!! You can make these wraps as spicy as you’d like or take the buffalo sauce out completely. What ever you decide on, these wraps are easy to throw together in the morning and taste great!
- 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breasts
- 2-4 tablespoon pepper seasoning such as Mrs. Dash (My pepper seasoning is from Whole Foods)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 3-5 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank’s Wing Sauce)
- handful of green leaf lettuce, leave whole
- 2 Persian cucumber, julienned
- 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, sliced lengthwise
- 2 avocados, chopped into small pieces
- 4-7 tortilla wraps (I use [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/Flatout-Light-Wraps-Original-wraps/dp/B00CAK0EHC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1438318837&sr=8-5&keywords=flatout+wraps” target=”_blank”]these[/url])
- Season chicken with pepper seasoning and set aside. Heat grill to medium heat and grill chicken on both sides until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Please adjust time and temperature according to your grill. Place chicken on a plate and cover with foil; set aside until your ready to use (I made our chicken the night before and placed in the refrigerator once cooled).
- In a small bowl, add the ranch dressing and buffalo wing sauce; mix well. You can add more buffalo sauce to make it spicier or decrease if needed.
- Cut the chicken into thin strips. Gather all ingredients and set next to one another.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla wrap on a plate. Add a large piece of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion and chicken. Drizzle the buffalo ranch sauce over chicken, about 2 tablespoons. Add avocado pieces and roll to make wrap.

Thank you Medha! 🙂
It really feels like summer just flies by! I’m loving these wraps and the fact that they’re healthier doesn’t hurt either. These would be perfect to pack up for lunch for kids!
Thank you Danielle! And yes summer is going way to fast right?
These wraps are absolutely gorgeous, Cyndi! This is perfection right here. And I love the buffalo and ranch combo. Sounds like the perfect lunch! Pinned!
Thank you Gayle! Your awesome!!
Buffalo and ranch are such a great combo! It’s a favorite around here. I used to make them for hubby’s lunch. Now I’m thinking I need to start doing that again. These looks so good!
Thanks Jen and yes make then again for the hubby! 😉
I’ve been forced to become a “Morning Person” in my adult life and it’s brutal. I love, adore need my sleep! Love this lighter wrap! I need to make it for lunch this week! Booo to going back to school!
I feel yea friend!
Those wraps look fantastic, perfect for lunch! I wish my kids slept in, they’re still up at 7am every single morning, even if they’re up late. Which is unfortunate because I am so not a morning person! On the plus side, we never have to get into a new routine when school starts! Which is definitely coming too soon!!! Where is the summer going?!
Thank you Stacey. And summer is breezing by. It’s crazy!
Great lunch idea. Easy to assemble and packed with flavor.
Thank you Michelle!
Such a tasty combo…this looks so delicious and healthy too!
Thank you Alida! 🙂
YUM! I love buffalo chicken ANYTHING and I adore a good wrap- these look like a perfect marriage of the two! And great to pack for school lunches! I am exactly like you, I am a go to bed late kind of girl. But, I don’t know how to sleep past 9 am though… my body just wakes me up somewhere around 8-8:30. I don’t have children without fur, so I’m not really sure what advice to give you for yours, but I would say- let them enjoy sleeping in while they can. Maybe two days before slowly transition? Wake em up at 9 am. then 8 am.. until final dooms day of 7 am? I don’t know, but I DO wish you lots of luck! 🙂 Cheers!
Thanks for your advice Cheyenne! I think I will just wait a few days before and start getting them up earlier. Let them enjoy their last few weeks of sleeping in. 🙂
Cyndi – This wrap is not only healthy, but it looks delicious. I’m all about a good buffalo ranch chicken creation. 🙂
Thank you Erin!
