Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Chicken:
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying or bake/air-fry option
For the Wraps:
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • ½ avocado sliced (optional)
  • Ranch or mayo for spreading
  • Hot sauce or sriracha optional

Method
 

Marinate Chicken:
  1. Soak chicken strips in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for best flavor).
Bread the Chicken:
  1. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture until coated well.
Cook the Chicken:
  1. Frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Air-fry: Spray with oil and air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Baking: Place on a greased tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
Assemble the Wraps:
  1. Warm tortillas slightly. Spread with ranch or mayo.
  2. Add lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, and crispy chicken. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Wrap & Serve:
  1. Roll tightly like a burrito. Slice in half and serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.

Notes

  • Make it healthier by using grilled chicken instead of fried.
  • For extra crunch, add crushed tortilla chips inside the wrap.
  • These wraps are great for lunchboxes—just keep sauce separate until serving.
