Easy Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

One time when making sloppy joes, I wanted mine spicy, so I doused it in hot sauce. After that, my mind went wild and I made it Buffalo chicken-style with ground chicken, diced celery and blue cheese crumbles. I've been making it this way ever since. -Jennifer Nielson, Spanish Fork, Utah

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese dressing, so I used ranch dressing instead. The wraps were still delicious!

These were so easy to make and they tasted amazing! I used grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, and I added some extra vegetables to the wraps. They were a perfect light and healthy meal.
