Coat each chicken strip sequentially in flour, egg, then panko mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
02 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
03 - Gently warm the flour tortillas for flexibility. Spread each tortilla with a generous spoonful of yogurt dressing. Layer spinach, red cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, and julienned cucumber evenly. Place warm crispy chicken strips on top. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of crushed peppermint candy cane over the chicken for a festive crunch.
04 - Roll each tortilla tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately to preserve crispiness and freshness.
