Ingredients

Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tsp garlic paste or powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/2 tsp celery salt

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Crispy Breading:

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 tsp ground thyme

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp celery salt

  • 1/2 tsp salt

Peppery Mayo:

  • 1 cup mayo

  • 1 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 tsp celery salt

For Assembly:

 

  • Canola oil for frying

  • 4 large tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the chicken marinade. Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

  2. Make the peppery mayo: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the peppery mayo and mix until fully incorporated. Set aside.

  3. Prepare the breading: In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the crispy breading. Set aside.

  4. Fry the chicken: Heat a large pot of canola oil to 350°F. Working in batches, dredge the marinated chicken tenders in the crispy breading, pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off excess breading and deep fry for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  5. Assemble the wraps: Spread a layer of peppery mayo over the center of half of each warm tortilla. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, crispy chicken tenders, more lettuce and tomatoes, and another drizzle of peppery mayo. Fold the bottom half of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.

  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
