Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb chicken tenders

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 large ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)

½ cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 1 lime

4 large rice paper wraps

Soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

      - In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, place the beaten egg. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

        - Take each chicken tender and first dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Dip the floured tender into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then press it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring a good coverage. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.

          Bake the Chicken:

            - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken tenders for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting each tender into strips.

              Prepare the Rice Wraps:

                - As the chicken bakes, prepare your rice paper wraps. Fill a large bowl with warm water and soak each rice paper wrap for about 15-20 seconds or until they have softened and are pliable. Carefully take them out of the water and lay them flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

                  Assemble the Wraps:

                    - Begin assembling the wraps by layering roughly ½ cup of cooked jasmine rice across the bottom half of each rice paper wrap.

                      - Add a few strips of crispy chicken on top of the rice, followed by slices of creamy avocado, a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Finish off with a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.

                        Rolling the Wraps:

                          - To roll, first fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling. Next, fold in the sides securely and then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wraps until all are assembled.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve the wraps immediately while they're fresh and crispy, accompanied by soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping. These wraps are perfect for a light meal or snack, bursting with flavor and texture!
