Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute: 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or your choice of wrap)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • Olive oil spray or 3 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying or baking)

Instructions

  1. Slice Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, around finger-width size.
  2. Soak in Buttermilk: Place chicken strips in a bowl and pour over the buttermilk. Let soak for at least 20 minutes (or refrigerate overnight for best results).
  3. Prepare Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (or cornflakes), garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, and chili powder. Mix well.
  4. Coat Chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Coat each strip thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Cook Chicken:
    – For frying: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each strip for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
    – For baking: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until crisp.
  6. Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side or microwave for 15 seconds until soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble Wraps: Spread 1–2 tablespoons of ranch dressing across the center of each tortilla. Add lettuce, a few chicken strips, and cheddar cheese.
  8. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

To reduce calories, use low-fat cheese and light ranch dressing.

Grilled chicken or air-fried chicken strips work well as alternatives.

Add extras like sliced tomatoes, avocado, or pickles for variety.

To keep wraps crisp, only assemble them when ready to eat.
