Crispy chicken strips coated in a flavorful ranch-seasoned crust, paired with melty cheddar cheese and fresh veggies, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for Super Bowl snacks or quick, satisfying bites.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g), sliced into strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper)
  • ½ cup buttermilk (120 ml)
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (90 g)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (100 g)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120 ml) for frying (canola or sunflower oil recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded fresh lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and ranch seasoning mix. Toss chicken strips in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Optionally add garlic powder or smoked paprika.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each strip in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350°F). Fry chicken strips in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Lay out tortillas and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or ranch dressing if desired. Layer lettuce, tomato, red onion (if using), shredded cheddar, and 3-4 chicken strips per wrap.
  7. Fold bottom edge over filling, fold sides in tightly, and roll up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before marinating to help coating stick. Fry in small batches at medium-high heat to maintain oil temperature. Drain fried chicken on paper towels to keep crispy. For extra melty cheese, briefly heat assembled wraps in a hot skillet before slicing. Oven-bake option: bake coated chicken strips at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
