# What you need:

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 cup buttermilk
03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 - 1 teaspoon paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ For the Wraps
10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch each)
11 - 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
12 - 1 medium tomato, diced
13 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
14 - 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
15 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing
# Directions:
01 - Slice chicken breasts into strips and marinate in buttermilk for 10 minutes.
02 - Combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
03 - Dredge each chicken strip in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure even coating.
04 - Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry coated chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
05 - Lay tortillas flat. Layer lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy chicken strips onto each. Evenly drizzle ranch dressing over fillings.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get that takeout-level satisfaction with barely any fuss at home (and a lot more crispy bites per serving).
- It’s a crowd-pleaser for adults and kids alike—once you nail the crispy chicken, everyone lines up for seconds.
02 -
- If the oil isn’t hot enough, the chicken will absorb it and get soggy—test with a breadcrumb first, and wait for immediate bubbling.
- Don’t overload the filling or the tortillas will split and you’ll end up with an accidental salad plate.
03 -
- Let chicken drain properly after frying—resting on paper towels keeps the crust intact and crisp.
- That first tight roll makes all the difference—press gently as you roll so the fillings stay snug and every bite is perfect.
