Ingredients
For the Crispy Chicken
2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
½ cup flour
1 egg (beaten)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Oil for frying OR cooking spray for air-frying
For the Guacamole
2 ripe avocados
1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 small tomato, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
For the Wrap
4 large tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
½ cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
½ cup diced cucumbers
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
2 tbsp fresh parsley or mint, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Crispy Chicken
In a bowl, mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, place the beaten egg.
In a third bowl, add breadcrumbs/panko.
Dip chicken strips first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
To fry: Heat oil and fry strips 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
To air-fry: Spray chicken with oil and cook at 200°C (390°F) for 12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Set aside on a wire rack to keep crisp.
Make the Guacamole
Mash avocados in a bowl until creamy.
Add lemon/lime juice, onion, tomato, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently—do not over-mash for best texture.
Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly so they roll easily.
Spread 2 tbsp guacamole in the center of each tortilla.
Add crispy chicken strips on top.
Drizzle 1–2 tbsp ranch over the chicken.
Add lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and herbs.
Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar.
Fold sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom up.
For a crispy finish, sear the wrap in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes per side.
Tips
Keep the Chicken Extra Crispy
Use panko for more crunch.
Let breaded chicken rest 5 minutes before frying—helps coating stick.
After cooking, place chicken on a wire rack instead of a plate to avoid sogginess.
Avoid Mushy Wraps
Add lettuce and fresh veggies right before wrapping.
Searing the wrap at the end creates a barrier that keeps everything crisp.
Make It Meal-Prep Friendly
Store components separately: chicken, veggies, guacamole, tortillas.
Assemble right before eating for best texture.
Guacamole Freshness Tip
Add a thin layer of lemon juice on top or press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface to prevent browning.
Variations
Grilled Chicken Version
Skip breading and grill seasoned chicken strips for a lighter, high-protein wrap.
Spicy Mediterranean Wrap
Add chili flakes, sriracha ranch, or jalapeños.
Mix cayenne into your chicken breading.
Vegetarian Version
Replace chicken with crispy falafel, halloumi, or roasted chickpeas.
Cheese Swaps
Use mozzarella, feta, pepper jack, or a mix of cheddar + mozzarella.
Sauce Options
Instead of ranch, try:
Garlic yogurt sauce
Tzatziki
Hummus
Chipotle mayo
Q&A Section
Q: Can I use store-bought crispy chicken?
Yes! Frozen breaded tenders or leftover fried chicken work perfectly.
Q: How do I prevent the wrap from tearing?
Warm the tortilla slightly—cold tortillas crack easily.
Q: Can I make it gluten-free?
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and gluten-free tortillas.
Q: Can I store the wrap after assembling?
Best eaten fresh, but you can keep it 3–4 hours in the fridge. For next-day storage, keep ingredients separate.
