Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, and half of the hot sauce. Add the chicken strips, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Remove chicken from the marinade (discard excess marinade) and cook in a single layer for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Toss in sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining hot sauce and melted butter. Transfer the cooked chicken to a mixing bowl, pour the sauce over it, and toss until evenly coated.
Assemble the wraps: Warm tortillas, layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and sauced chicken. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce if desired.
Fold tightly: Fold the sides over the filling and roll up from one end. Slice in half at a slight angle and serve immediately.
