Perfect for lunch or dinner, these wraps combine crunchy textures and savory flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons seasoning salt (such as Lawry’s, divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • Oil for frying (such as vegetable or peanut oil)

For the Wraps:

  • 6 medium tortilla wraps (wheat, spinach, or flour)
  • 2 medium roma tomatoes (sliced)
  • 4 large lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Pour frying oil into a deep skillet until it is halfway full. Preheat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350-375° F, ideal for frying the chicken to a perfect golden crisp.
  2. Prepare Dredging Station: Use two shallow dishes — in the first, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In the second dish, beat the eggs together with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning salt. This will help the flour adhere to the chicken for a crispy crust.
  4. Coat Chicken Strips: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. First, dredge each strip in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Next, dip them into the beaten egg mixture, then coat again in the flour mixture for a double breading. Shake off any loose flour before frying.
  5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and arrange the crispy chicken strips in the center. Top with large lettuce leaves, sliced roma tomatoes, and drizzle with ranch dressing to taste.
  7. Roll the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up like a burrito, ensuring all ingredients stay snugly inside.
  8. Serve: Slice the wrap diagonally in half and enjoy warm, at room temperature, or cold depending on preference.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature between 350-375°F for best frying results.
  • Double coating the chicken with flour ensures a crispy exterior.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated; serve cold or reheat briefly in a skillet or microwave.
  • For a healthier version, bake the breaded chicken strips at 425°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with a yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
