Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Delightful pockets of crispy chicken and bold flavors, wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup buttermilk (or Halal-friendly milk alternative)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (ensure it's alcohol-free)
For the Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat or regular tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (check for Halal compliance)
- Optional: sliced onions or diced tomatoes
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure they are well-coated for the best flavor.
- Pour the buttermilk into a bowl and the flour into another. Dip each seasoned chicken strip into the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, and then dredge it through the flour, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with oil (enough for frying). Once hot, carefully place the coated chicken strips in the skillet. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and toss it in a bowl with the buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
Assembly
- Take a tortilla and lay down some shredded lettuce, a few pieces of buffalo chicken, a drizzle of ranch dressing, and a sprinkle of cheese. You can also add onions or tomatoes if you like.
- Wrap the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results, use Halal turkey for a substitute or a plant-based chicken. Ensure your oil is hot enough for a crispy exterior.
