Instructions
-
1. Prepare the Crispy Chicken:
-
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin, even strips or leave them whole if you prefer larger pieces.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure it sticks.
-
Next, coat the chicken pieces in panko breadcrumbs for that crispy crunch.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
-
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
-
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
-
Spread a generous amount of the sauce in the center of each tortilla.
-
Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
-
Place the crispy chicken pieces on top of the veggies.
4. Wrap and Serve:
-
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up the wrap tightly to secure all the ingredients inside.
-
Optionally, you can toast the wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to make it extra crispy.
-
Cut the wrap in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your Crispy Chicken Twister Wrap!

Notes
-
You can customize the wrap with your favorite toppings like avocado, pickles, or a different kind of cheese.
-
If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the chicken strips at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until crispy instead of frying.
-
For a spicier kick, add hot sauce or chili flakes to the sauce or on top of the chicken.
