Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

4 large tortillas (whole wheat or flour)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

1/4 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce

Optional: sliced avocado or pickled jalapeños for some heat

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, place the chicken breasts and cover them with buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge) to ensure juicy, tender chicken.

    Prepare Breading Station: Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper; one with panko breadcrumbs; and one empty.

      Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge it in the flour mixture, then dip it back into the buttermilk, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure it’s well-coated for maximum crispiness.

        Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

          Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, start with a layer of shredded lettuce, then add the sliced crispy chicken, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and any optional toppings like avocado or jalapeños. Drizzle with ranch dressing or your sauce of choice.

            Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all the fillings. You can toast the assembled wraps in a dry skillet for an additional 2-3 minutes per side to enhance crispiness if desired.

              Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve warm with extra ranch on the side for dipping.
