# 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

→ Wraps & Fillings

11 - 4 large flour tortillas
12 - 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce

14 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, optional

# Preparation 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 - Warm the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to fold.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a generous spoonful of honey-mustard dressing down the center. Top with lettuce, chicken, tomato, and red onion if using.
06 - Drizzle additional honey-mustard dressing over the fillings.
07 - 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 in 30 minutes, which means you can make it on a weeknight without feeling like youre racing the clock.
  • The honey mustard dressing is tangy, a little sweet, and brightens up every bite without drowning the chicken.
  • You can pack these for lunch the next day and theyll still taste fresh and satisfying.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest for a minute or two after cooking, or all the juices will run out when you slice it and the wrap will get soggy.
  • Warm the tortillas before you fill them, cold tortillas crack when you try to roll them and the whole thing falls apart.
  • Dont overfill the wrap or youll struggle to close it, less is more when it comes to rolling these tight.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken while its still warm so it stays juicy, but let it cool slightly before adding it to the wrap so the tortilla doesnt steam and get soggy.
  • Double the dressing recipe and keep it in a jar in the fridge, its great on salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.
  • If the tortilla starts to tear while youre rolling, lay a second tortilla underneath to reinforce it.
