Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for additional heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced

1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

1/4 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, immerse the chicken breasts in buttermilk. Ensure they are well-coated, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness.

    Prepare the Breading Station: Organize your breading station using three shallow dishes:

      - In the first dish, combine the all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

        - The second dish should contain beaten eggs (or if you prefer, more buttermilk for a thicker coating).

          - The third dish will hold the panko breadcrumbs.

            Coat the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any extra. Next, dip into the egg wash (or buttermilk), and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, gently pressing to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

              Fry the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts (cook in batches if your skillet is small). Fry each breast for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

                Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing in the center. Layer generously with shredded lettuce, crispy chicken pieces (either sliced or left whole), avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

                  Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla to secure the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a wrap. If desired, slice the wrap in half and use a toothpick to secure it.

                    Serve: Present your Crispy Chicken Avocado Wraps with fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor. Enjoy!
