Questions & Answers

How do I get the chicken extra crispy?

Double-coat the chicken by dipping it again in buttermilk and breadcrumbs before frying to enhance crispiness.

What type of bacon works best for this wrap?

Beef bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor and crisps well when cooked over medium heat.

Can I substitute the cheddar cheese?

Yes, Monterey Jack or your preferred melty cheese can be used for a different flavor profile.

How should tortillas be prepared before rolling?

Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
