Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Coating

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Wrap & Fresh Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas)
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta cheese

Sauces

  • Mayonnaise
  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy aioli
  • Tangy yogurt-based sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking. Season well with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Set up three shallow dishes for dredging — one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
  3. Cook to Crispy Perfection: Fry the breaded chicken strips in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, or bake them in the oven for a healthier option until crispy, making sure to seal in the juiciness.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Lightly heat the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until warm and pliable to enhance the wrap experience.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: On each warm tortilla, layer fresh lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, and your choice of sauce. Add the crispy chicken strips on top, then fold the tortilla tightly and slice diagonally to showcase the colorful, crunchy interior.

Notes

  • Double-Dip for Crunch: For extra crispiness, dip the chicken strips twice in the egg and breadcrumb mixture before cooking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Fry chicken in small batches to keep oil temperature steady and prevent soggy coating.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies and quality tortillas significantly enhance the flavor and texture balance.
  • Let Rest Before Wrapping: Allow cooked chicken to rest briefly to keep juices locked inside and avoid soggy wraps.
  • Experiment with Sauces: Try different sauces such as ranch, spicy chipotle mayo, or tangy yogurt to transform the wrap’s flavor.
