# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Pound chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
02 - Dredge each chicken breast in flour. Dip into beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage, then coat with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
03 - Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry each chicken breast for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded romaine lettuce, green cabbage, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and red onion. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
05 - Warm each flour tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
06 - Lay out each tortilla and place a generous portion of Caesar slaw in the center. Layer with sliced chicken strips, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of crushed croutons.
07 - Fold the tortilla edges inward and roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately while fresh.
