# How to Make It:

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 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.
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 secure wrap.
08 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in half an hour, which means you can go from hungry to happy without much planning.
  • The honey mustard dressing is bright and bold enough to make even leftover chicken feel like a treat.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble wraps all week without them getting soggy.
  • It's one of those recipes that feels indulgent but keeps you full without the afternoon slump.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, or all the juices will run out the second you slice into it.
  • Warm your tortillas or they'll crack and split when you try to fold them, leaving you with a messy plate instead of a neat wrap.
  • Go easy on the dressing inside the wrap and save extra for dipping, because too much makes everything slippery and hard to hold.
03 -
  • If your chicken tenders are uneven in size, pound them gently with your palm so they cook at the same rate.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder to the dressing for extra depth, it makes the whole thing taste more complex.
  • Use parchment paper to wrap the finished wraps if you're taking them on the go, it keeps them tidy and makes them easier to eat.
