# How To Make It:

01 - Place chicken strips in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - In a shallow dish, combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
03 - Remove chicken strips from buttermilk and coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
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. Drain on paper towels.
05 - In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Warm over low heat for 2-3 minutes until blended. Remove from heat immediately.
06 - Transfer fried chicken strips to a bowl and toss with hot honey sauce until thoroughly coated.
07 - In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Toss until evenly coated. Add croutons if desired.
08 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds until pliable.
09 - Place approximately 1 cup Caesar salad in the center of each tortilla. Top with hot honey chicken strips. Fold in both sides and roll tightly from bottom to top.
10 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while hot honey chicken is still warm.
