- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)

For the Wraps:

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup shredded lettuce (optional)

Instructions
Prepare the Crispy Chicken:
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

- In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Coat each chicken strip in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
Assemble the Wraps:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic.
- Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle cheese over half.
- Add crispy chicken strips, drizzle with garlic butter, and add lettuce, tomatoes, and dressing if desired.
- Fold the tortilla in half and press gently.
Toast the Wraps:
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese melts.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
