Ingredients
- For the Wrap:
- 2 cooked breaded or grilled chicken tenders store-bought or homemade
- 4 small flour tortillas 6-inch
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing or honey mustard or both for variation
- Optional: pickles sliced tomato, onion
- For Homemade Crispy Chicken Optional:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts sliced into strips
- ½ cup flour
- 1 egg beaten
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs or panko
- 1 tsp paprika ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
- Oil for pan-frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken (If Homemade):
- Bread the chicken strips by coating in flour, then egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs. Pan-fry over medium heat in oil for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side or microwave for 10 seconds to make them pliable.
- Assemble the Snack Wraps:
- Lay each tortilla flat. Add a piece of crispy or grilled chicken in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, and a drizzle of ranch or honey mustard.
- Fold the Wrap:
- Fold the bottom up slightly, then roll the tortilla around the filling like a burrito (leave one end open for the classic snack wrap look).
- Serve or Store:
- Serve immediately for best texture. If prepping ahead, wrap in foil or parchment and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Want a healthier version? Use grilled chicken breast and Greek yogurt-based dressing.
- Make it spicy by adding buffalo sauce, jalapeños, or spicy mayo.
- Crispy chicken shortcut: Use frozen chicken tenders or nuggets if you're short on time.
- To reheat: Wrap in foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, or microwave uncovered for 30 seconds.
- Use whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas to adjust macros based on dietary needs.
- Dairy-free option: Skip the cheese and use vegan dressing.
- Double the batch for party appetizers or school lunches — they’re always a hit!
