Directions:

In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken strip in the mixture until well coated.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Lay each tortilla flat. Add a layer of cheese in the center, followed by crispy chicken and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Roll the burrito tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom up.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Slice in half and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
