Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
Dry Coating:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
Wet Ingredients and Wrap Components:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or your preferred sauce
Instructions
- Craft a seasoned flour blend by combining dry ingredients to create a flavorful coating for the chicken.
- Prepare a three-stage breading station: first dredge chicken strips in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip into whisked eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with crisp breadcrumbs.
- Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet to medium-high temperature (around 350°F), ensuring sufficient heat for achieving a golden, crunchy exterior.
- Carefully lower breaded chicken strips into hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes per side until they transform into a rich, amber-brown color and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- Gently warm tortillas for 10-15 seconds to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Lay out tortilla and strategically arrange fresh, crisp lettuce as the foundational layer.
- Add vibrant tomato slices and thinly sliced red onions for additional texture and flavor complexity.
- Position golden-brown chicken strips diagonally across the vegetable base.
- Drizzle ranch dressing or preferred sauce to enhance moisture and taste profile.
- Execute a precise wrap technique by folding sides inward and rolling tightly to secure all ingredients.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately to preserve optimal temperature and crispness.
Notes
- Experiment with alternative flour coatings like almond or coconut flour for gluten-free options that maintain crispiness.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch and lighter texture compared to traditional breadcrumbs.
- Pat chicken strips completely dry before coating to help breading adhere better and prevent soggy results.
- Adjust oil temperature around 350°F for perfect golden-brown chicken without burning the exterior.
