Tender chicken, crisp lettuce, and tangy honey-mustard dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla for a satisfying meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

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

→ Honey-Mustard Dressing

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

→ Wraps and 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 Steps:

01 - Preheat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
02 - Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes, then 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 and easier to roll.
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 additional 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 Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes twice as fresh.
  • The honey mustard dressing has just enough tang to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the chicken.
  • You can make it your own by tossing in whatever you have lying around in the crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after cooking or all the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving it dry.
  • Warm the tortillas before assembling or they will crack and tear when you try to roll them, which is frustrating and messy.
  • Don't overfill the wraps or they become impossible to close and everything falls out when you take a bite.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken so you never have to guess if it's done, 165°F is the magic number.
  • Spread the dressing all the way to the edges of the tortilla so every bite has flavor, not just the middle.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, set up a wrap bar with all the ingredients laid out and let everyone build their own.
