Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to culinary magic. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or even lettuce wraps. And for those who aren’t fans of blue cheese, ranch dressing works as a great substitute.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can create these delicious wraps right in your kitchen:
- Start by making the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well combined and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the prepared Buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside the remaining sauce for later.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Season each with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, then the egg, and finally the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and the crispy chicken. Drizzle with the remaining Buffalo sauce and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.
- Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
These wraps are a great way to bring some of that bustling, comforting kitchen energy I grew up with to your table.
