Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this wrap combines texture and flavor in every bite — the crispy chicken, cool lettuce, tangy sauce, and soft wrap come together perfectly. It’s easy to prep ahead and great for lunch, dinner, or even on the go.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crispy chicken:

• boneless, skinless chicken tenders or breasts (cut into strips)

• flour

• eggs

• breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes (for extra crunch)

• salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika

• oil for frying or cooking spray (if baking/air frying)

For the wrap:

• large tortillas or wraps

• lettuce or spinach

• tomato slices

• shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

• ranch, mayo, or spicy sauce

• optional: pickles, onions, avocado

Directions

1. I season the chicken, then dredge it in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.

2. I fry the chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. Air frying also works well.

3. I warm the tortillas slightly to make them flexible.

4. I layer lettuce, tomato, crispy chicken, cheese, and sauce down the center of each wrap.

5. I roll up the wraps tightly, slice in half, and serve warm.

Servings and timing

Servings: 4 wraps
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Variations

• I swap chicken for crispy tofu or chickpeas for a meatless version.

• Buffalo sauce adds a spicy kick — I drizzle it before wrapping.

Storage/Reheating

If I’m storing leftovers, I keep the components separate to avoid sogginess. The chicken stays crispy in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheats best in the oven or air fryer. I assemble wraps fresh right before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken tenders?

Yes — I bake or air fry them until crispy, then use them just like homemade.

What’s the best wrap to use?

I like large flour tortillas, spinach wraps, or even low-carb wraps depending on what I have.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes — I skip the cheese and use dairy-free sauce options.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

I don’t overfill, and I fold the bottom up before rolling to hold everything in place.

What sauce works best?

I love ranch, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli — but honey mustard and BBQ are also great options.

Conclusion

This extra crispy chicken wrap is one of my favorite quick meals — crunchy, creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. It’s easy to make, easy to customize, and always hits the spot when I want something satisfying in a hurry.
