# What You’ll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional

→ Dressing

06 - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
07 - 2 tablespoons honey
08 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Wraps & Fillings

11 - 4 large flour tortillas
12 - 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
13 - 1 medium tomato, sliced, optional
14 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil into the pan.
02 - Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice if desired.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
04 - Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous spoonful of honey-mustard dressing down the center. Top with lettuce, chicken, tomato, and red onion if using. Drizzle more dressing over the fillings.
06 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes like you put in way more effort than you did.
  • The honey mustard dressing is dangerously good and you will want to put it on everything afterward.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble wraps throughout the week without them getting soggy.
  • It works just as well for a solo lunch as it does for feeding a small crowd on a busy weeknight.
02 -
  • Do not skip letting the chicken rest after cooking or the juices will run out the moment you slice it and make your wrap soggy.
  • Warm tortillas are essential because cold ones crack and tear when you try to roll them tightly.
  • If you make the dressing ahead, it thickens in the fridge so give it a quick stir and add a tiny splash of water or lemon juice to loosen it up before using.
03 -
  • Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel before seasoning so the spices stick better and you get a crispier sear.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try steaming them for a few seconds instead of microwaving, it makes them incredibly soft and flexible.
  • Make a double batch of the honey mustard dressing and keep it in a jar in the fridge, it is perfect on sandwiches, salads, and even as a marinade for chicken or pork.
