Equipment
- Medium skillet
- Tongs
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan-Reggiano
- Frying oil
- 6 burrito-sized flour tortillas
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- Buffalo sauce (I used Frank’s Buffalo Sauce)
- 4 slices provolone halved
- Iceberg lettuce shredded
Instructions
- Start by placing the chicken tenders on a cutting board. This is the first step in making your flavorful wraps.
- Create an assembly line with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. This will give the chicken a nice coating.
- In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. This will help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken.
- In the third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. This mixture will add a delicious crunch to the chicken.
- Take each chicken tender and dip it into the bowl with the flour, coating it completely. Shake off any excess to avoid a clumpy texture.
- Next, dip the floured tender into the bowl with the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Then, roll the tender in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
- Heat some frying oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken tenders into the pan.
- Fry the tenders until they are crispy and golden on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. You want them to be cooked through and have a nice crunch.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.
- Cut the crispy chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
- Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken pieces and toss until they're evenly coated. Adjust the amount of sauce to your desired spice level.
- Now, assemble the wraps! Place a large burrito-sized tortilla on a clean cutting board.
- Spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing in the center of the tortilla. This adds a creamy flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy chicken.
- Add a few slices of provolone to the center of the tortilla.
- Top with the buffalo chicken pieces and a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce.
- Wrap the tortilla like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half to serve, and enjoy your homemade Buffalo Chicken Wraps!
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet for that fresh, crispy texture.
- Tip 2: You can freeze the cooked chicken separately and thaw it when ready to assemble your wraps for a quick meal.
- Tip 3: Substitute the chicken with crispy tofu or cauliflower for a delicious vegetarian version.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different sauces or toppings for unique flavor combinations.
- Tip 5: Add more fresh veggies to encourage healthy eating.
