Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowls
  • tongs
  • paper towels
  • knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for warming tortillas)

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  • Set up a dredging station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each chicken strip in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Fry the breaded chicken strips for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Toss the hot chicken strips in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet with butter or briefly in the microwave.
  • Spread a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing in the center of each tortilla.
  • Add shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the dressing.
  • Place several buffalo chicken strips over the vegetables.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap.
  • Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, bake the chicken instead of frying and use whole wheat tortillas. Adjust spice by choosing mild or hot buffalo sauce, or mix in a little honey to reduce heat. Panko breadcrumbs create a crispier coating. For extra flavor variations, add avocado, black beans, corn, or substitute barbecue sauce for the buffalo sauce.
