05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

# How to Make It:

01 - Place chicken strips in a bowl and submerge in buttermilk. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
03 - Remove chicken strips from buttermilk and dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage on all sides.
04 - Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry chicken strips for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
05 - Combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring gently until blended. Remove from heat immediately.
06 - Transfer fried chicken strips to a bowl and toss with hot honey sauce until evenly coated.
07 - In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat evenly. Fold in cherry tomatoes and croutons.
08 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in damp paper towels for 1 minute until pliable.
09 - Lay each warm tortilla flat. Distribute Caesar salad evenly across the center of each tortilla. Top with hot honey chicken strips. Fold in sides and roll tightly from bottom to top.
10 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
