# Ingredient list:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
05 - ½ 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 black 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 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced, optional

# Cooking 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. 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 - Heat tortillas for a few seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to fold.
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 secure wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in half an hour, which means you can have dinner on the table before anyone starts opening snack bags.
  • The honey mustard dressing is so good you'll want to put it on everything, salads included.
  • You can double the batch and pack the wraps for lunch the next day without them getting soggy.
  • It's one of those meals that feels indulgent but sneaks in greens and lean protein without anyone complaining.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, cutting into it too soon means all the juices run out onto your cutting board instead of staying inside.
  • Warming the tortillas makes all the difference, a cold tortilla cracks and a warm one folds like a dream.
  • If you're making these ahead, keep the dressing separate until you're ready to eat or the lettuce will get soggy and sad.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken on a slight diagonal after it rests, it looks nicer and makes each bite more tender.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula along with the lettuce for extra flavor and nutrition without changing the vibe.
  • If your tortilla keeps unrolling, secure it with a toothpick until you're ready to slice and serve.
  • Double the dressing recipe and keep it in the fridge, it's incredible on grilled chicken salads and roasted vegetables too.
