Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable.
05 - Spread 1 tbsp ranch dressing or gochujang-mayo on each tortilla. Place a handful of slaw and a few crispy protein strips in the center. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Fold and roll up tightly.
