The crunch of crispy chicken paired with creamy ranch dressing and fresh veggies wrapped in a soft tortilla—it’s snack heaven! Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup ranch dressing (use homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sliced avocado (optional)
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Crispy bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Set up the breading station: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken strip into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs firmly to ensure they stick.
  4. Pour about ½ inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of ranch dressing over the center.
  7. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a spoonful of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Place 2-3 crispy chicken strips on top.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  9. Slice the wrap in half for easier serving, and enjoy while it’s still warm and crispy!

Notes

[‘Use a thermometer to maintain the oil at 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying results.’, ‘Fry the chicken in batches to ensure even cooking and crispy results.’, ‘Bread the chicken strips ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to a few hours before frying.’, ‘Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds on each side to make them more pliable.’]
