03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil in the pan.
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.
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 in under 30 minutes, which means you can go from hungry to happily full before your favorite show even starts.
  • The honey-mustard dressing is ridiculously easy to make and tastes better than anything you'd buy in a bottle.
  • You can prep the chicken and dressing ahead, then just assemble the wraps when you're ready to eat.
  • It's one of those recipes that feels indulgent but won't leave you feeling heavy or guilty afterward.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking; cutting into it immediately makes all the juices run out and leaves you with dry meat.
  • Warm tortillas are a game changer, cold ones crack and tear the moment you try to roll them.
  • If your dressing feels too thick, add a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to loosen it up.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken hits 165°F (74°C) so you know it's perfectly cooked without cutting into it.
  • If you're packing these for lunch, wrap them tightly in parchment paper or foil to keep everything in place.
  • Toast the tortilla lightly after rolling for a crispy exterior that holds up even better.
