Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (for extra crispiness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 ripe avocados, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup lettuce, shredded

4 large flour or spinach tortillas

¼ cup ranch or chipotle sauce (for drizzling)

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, or overnight for optimal tenderness and flavor.

    Prepare the Coating: Set up two shallow dishes — place the all-purpose flour in one and in the other, combine the Panko breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor and crunch of your chicken.

      Coat the Chicken: Once marinated, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour first, ensuring a good dusting, then dive into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere a thick, crispy layer.

        Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet. Fry for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through (make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F). Once done, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.

          Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out your tortillas. Start by placing a handful of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Next, add the sliced avocados and halved cherry tomatoes. Slice the crispy chicken into strips and arrange them over the top of the veggies.

            Drizzle and Roll: Generously drizzle your choice of ranch or chipotle sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling and then roll them tightly from the bottom to the top to secure all the delicious ingredients inside.

              Serve and Enjoy: To serve, cut each wrap in half diagonally and present them on a plate. Offer extra sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the enjoyment of the crispy, creamy, and fresh flavors throughout the wrap!
