Method

  1. Gently press the sides of the rice pouch to separate the rice grains.

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, combine the rice and water. Cook and stir until the rice is heated through and the water is absorbed, approximately 2 minutes. Set aside.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce until well combined. Set aside.

  4. Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate covered with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds, or until the tortilla is warm and pliable. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas.

  5. Divide the rice evenly among the tortillas, spreading it within 1/2 inch of the edges.

  6. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture over the rice on each tortilla.

  7. Sprinkle cheese over the chicken mixture, then top with lettuce.

  8. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and tightly roll it up. Cut each wrap in half diagonally.

  9. Serve each wrap with carrots, celery, and approximately 1/4 cup of ranch dressing for dipping.

  10. If your children are sensitive to spicy foods, use barbeque sauce instead. It will be equally delicious.

  11. These wraps can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
