These Buffalo chicken wraps are excellent. Honey and lime juice help tone down the hot wing sauce for a refreshing zing. They’re perfect for lunch or a light evening meal. For quicker preparation, use store-bought blue cheese dressing instead of homemade. –Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
