# Preparation Steps:

01 - Place chicken strips in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish and mix thoroughly.
03 - Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge each strip in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage on all sides.
04 - Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet to medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry chicken strips 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 ingredients are blended. Remove from heat.
06 - Transfer fried chicken strips to a bowl and pour hot honey sauce over them. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
07 - In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Toss until salad is evenly coated. Stir in croutons if desired.
08 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable and easier to fold.
09 - Place warm tortilla on a clean work surface. Layer Caesar salad in the center, then 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 hot honey chicken remains warm.
