Ingredients
- 250 g boneless chicken breast
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 egg
- 60 ml milk
- 80 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Oil for frying
- 120 g mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp black pepper (for sauce)
- ½ tsp paprika (for sauce)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (for sauce)
- 4 soft flour tortillas (20 cm)
- 80 g shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced (about 120 g)
- 1 small green pepper, thinly sliced (about 70 g)
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breast into long strips suitable for wrapping.
- Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder. Mix well to coat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture until fully covered.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to about 175°C and fry the chicken strips for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the pepper mayo by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side until soft.
- Spread pepper mayo in the center of each tortilla. Add lettuce, tomato slices, green pepper, and two to three crispy chicken strips.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then roll the sides tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place fried chicken on a wire rack instead of stacking on paper towels.
- The pepper mayo sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- You can grill the chicken instead of frying it for a lighter version.
- Add shredded carrots, cucumbers, or red cabbage for additional crunch.
- Store leftover chicken separately and assemble wraps fresh to avoid soggy tortillas.
