Ingredients:
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded)

Instructions
- Toss the Chicken: In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter and Buffalo wing sauce. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and toss until every piece is well coated. Set aside for a minute to let the flavors soak in.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20‑30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly blistered. This makes them much easier to roll and gives them a subtle toasty flavor.
- Assemble: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a generous stripe of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a spoonful of sliced celery, and then pile on the saucy Buffalo chicken. Top with a little extra dressing and optional cheese crumbles if you want extra richness.
- Roll Tightly: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up firmly from the bottom, burrito‑style. Slice diagonally in half. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve right away with extra celery sticks and dressing on the side.
Why It Hits: The rotisserie chicken soaks up that iconic buttery Buffalo tang while staying incredibly juicy. The contrasting crunch of fresh celery and lettuce wrapped in a toasty tortilla gives you the full wing‑night experience without the bones, the deep fryer, or the wait.
