# Directions:

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, combine all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
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 to 350°F. Fry chicken strips in batches for 4-5 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 occasionally until blended, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
06 - Transfer fried chicken strips to a large bowl and pour hot honey sauce over them. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
07 - In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes. Toss gently until ingredients are evenly coated. Add croutons if desired.
08 - Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or warm in microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable and warm.
09 - Place warm tortilla flat on work surface. Layer Caesar salad mixture in center, reserving some dressing. Top with hot honey chicken strips. Fold in sides and roll tightly away from you, wrapping securely.
10 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half using a sharp knife. Serve immediately while hot honey chicken remains warm.
