Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional)
For the Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken – Slice the chicken breasts into cutlets for faster cooking. In a bowl, soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and moisten.
- Bread and Fry the Chicken – Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from the buttermilk, dredge in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to adhere. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken pieces for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Cook the Bacon – While the chicken cooks, fry or bake the bacon slices until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Warm the Tortillas – Gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps – Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing down the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, sliced red onion (if using), crispy chicken, bacon, and a sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Wrap and Serve – Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half if desired. Serve immediately with extra ranch for dipping.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked chicken tenders or rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
- Swap cheddar for Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheeses.
- Add avocado slices or jalapeño for extra flavor and heat.
- Bake the chicken instead of frying for a lighter option.
- Wrap leftovers tightly in foil and store in the fridge up to 1 day.
