Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
Salt/pepper (to taste)
1 cup flour (Optional, omit for a healthier option)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup buffalo sauce
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
8 6-inch flour tortillas
¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup Mexican cheese (Cheddar or pepper jack also work)
½ cup ranch dressing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt/pepper as desired.
  • Place the flour in a zip lock bag and drop the chicken pieces into it. Seal the bag and shake to coat.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil over medium and heat and cook the floured chicken for a few minutes on each side.
  • Mix firecracker sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. Remove chicken from the skillet and drop into the bowl, mixing around to coat thoroughly.
  • Place the chicken and sauce in a baking dish (the size is not important, just large enough to hold the chicken) and cook, covered, for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and use two forks to shred it. Mix in the cheese.
  • Remove and roll the tortillas from the package one at a time to prevent them from drying out, which causes them to crack when folder.
  • Scoop 2-3 tablespoons into the middle of each tortilla. Roll tightly and brush with a little vegetable oil at the seam. Repeat for all tortillas and place them on a large plate, seal side down.
  • Place the wraps in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds, this helps the seal to stick.
  • Heat ¾ cup of oil in a skillet and fry each tortilla until the bottom begins to turn light brown, then flip and repeat
  • Remove from skillet, slice each tortilla in half, and serve with ranch dressing!
