Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for desired spice level)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing for a milder option)

4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk mixed with a splash of vinegar)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken pieces are evenly coated in the sauce. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Make the Crunchy Coating: In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This seasoning will add a flavorful crunch to your wraps.

      Assemble the Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

        Fold the Wraps: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the bottom of the tortilla up tightly over the filling. Continue to roll until the wrap is completely sealed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Coat the Wraps: Dip each filled wrap into the buttermilk, making sure it's well coated. Then, roll the wrap in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, gently pressing to ensure the crumbs adhere.

            Fry the Wraps: Heat a generous layer of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the wraps seam-side down into the skillet. Fry each wrap for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Drain Excess Oil: After frying, transfer the wraps to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil and maintain their crunchiness.

                Serve: Cut each crunchy buffalo chicken wrap in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing or serve it on the side for dipping. Dive into your crispy delights!
