• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 4 large flour tortillas
• ½ cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
• ¼ cup sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

1. Pat the chicken strips dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Set up a breading station:
   • Bowl 1: flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika
   • Bowl 2: eggs, beaten
   • Bowl 3: breadcrumbs
3. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip into egg, then coat well with breadcrumbs.

2. Cook the Chicken

Frying Method (crispiest):

• Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
• Fry chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels.

Baking Method:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place breaded chicken on a lined baking sheet, spray lightly with oil.
• Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway.

Air Fryer Method:

• Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.

3. Toss in Buffalo Sauce

• Place hot, cooked chicken in a large bowl.
• Pour 1 cup buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss until evenly coated.

4. Assemble the Wraps

1. Warm tortillas slightly to make them flexible.
2. Spread ranch dressing down the center of each tortilla.
3. Add lettuce, buffalo chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon.
4. Top with tomatoes and green onions if using.

5. Wrap & Toast (Optional but Recommended)

• Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
• Toast wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melty.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with extra ranch or buffalo sauce on the side
• Pair with fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad

Tip

For less heat, mix buffalo sauce with a little ranch or honey before tossing the chicken.
