🌯 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Set up a breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in the second, breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
  2. Coat chicken strips in flour, dip into egg, then press into breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Chicken should be crispy and juicy. 🔥
  4. Transfer chicken to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. In a bowl, toss romaine with Caesar dressing until lightly coated. 🥬
  6. Warm tortillas slightly so they’re flexible.
  7. Assemble wraps: add lettuce, crispy chicken, and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
  8. Roll tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately. ✨🌯

💡 Pro Tips

  • Extra crispy: Use panko breadcrumbs and don’t overcrowd the pan.
  • Make it lighter: Swap fried chicken for air-fried or baked chicken strips.
  • Meal prep: Store chicken and salad separately; assemble just before eating.
  • Flavor boost: Add a squeeze of lemon or a few crushed croutons inside the wrap.
