Scale
The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that bring out the best flavors. Choose fresh chicken and quality ranch for a wrap that’s truly irresistible.
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For a lighter version, you can swap the frying for baking, or use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber.
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken strips in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This will tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Fry the chicken strips in the hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble the wraps by layering lettuce, cheese, and crispy chicken on each tortilla. Drizzle with ranch dressing and fold to enclose the filling.
