Ingredients
For the Chicken:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika

Other Ingredients:
- 6 strips of bacon

Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dredging Station: Place flour in one shallow dish, buttermilk in another, and panko in a third. Dredge each strip in flour, then buttermilk, and finally panko.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken strips for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Cook the Bacon: In a separate pan, cook bacon until crispy. Drain and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay tortillas flat. Spread 1 tbsp ranch dressing on each. Layer lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, crispy chicken, and bacon.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.
