Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pounds Chicken Breasts Can use chicken thighs for added flavor and moisture.
  • 8 slices Bacon Turkey bacon can be used for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can be replaced with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice as a homemade substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder No direct substitution, but fresh garlic can be used in smaller amounts.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika can increase flavor intensity.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste but essential for balance.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Optional based on spice preference.
  • 2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can work but won't achieve the same crispiness.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Any neutral oil can also be used.
For the Wrap
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • 2 cups Shredded Lettuce Can use mixed greens.
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes Use other fresh veggies like bell peppers for variation.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Any cheese like Monterey Jack can work.
  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing Use a homemade ranch or a yogurt-based dressing for a lighter version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let meld for 10 minutes.
  2. Set up a dredging station with flour, buttermilk, and panko in three shallow bowls. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in buttermilk, then coat in panko.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken strips for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
  4. Cook bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy, then crumble into pieces.
  5. Lay out tortillas and spread ranch dressing evenly across each.
  6. In each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and fried chicken strips. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  7. Fold in sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom upwards. Press gently to secure.
  8. Slice each wrap in half at a slight angle and serve immediately.
