Honey Mustard Chicken Salad Wrap 🌮

This recipe brings together tender grilled chicken, crisp vegetables, and a creamy, tangy honey mustard dressing, all tucked into a soft flour tortilla. It’s a professional-grade lunch that balances sweet and savory flavors with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients🍒

For the Honey Mustard Dressing:

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

2 tbsp Yellow or Dijon mustard

2 tbsp Honey

1 tsp Lemon juice

1/2 tsp Smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wrap:

2 large Flour tortillas

2 cups Cooked chicken breast (grilled or rotisserie), sliced or cubed

1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded

1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup Red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Carrots, shredded

2 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)

Preparation Steps 🥣

Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and paprika. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Prep the Chicken: If using grilled chicken, ensure it is slightly warm or at room temperature. Toss the chicken pieces in a tablespoon of the honey mustard dressing to ensure every bite is flavorful.

Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side. This makes them pliable and prevents tearing during the rolling process.

Layer the Ingredients: Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a generous spoonful of the dressing across the center. Layer the shredded romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, carrots, and the seasoned chicken. Sprinkle with bacon bits if using.

The Fold: Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. While holding the sides, use your thumbs to lift the bottom edge and tuck it over the ingredients, rolling tightly towards the top.

The Final Sear (Optional): For a "hotel-style" finish, place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down in a hot pan for 30 seconds to seal the wrap and add a slight golden crunch to the exterior.

The Texture Balance: Always place the lettuce down first; it acts as a moisture barrier to keep the tortilla from getting soggy from the sauce or tomatoes.

Presentation: Slice the wrap diagonally at a sharp angle to showcase the vibrant layers of greens, orange carrots, and creamy chicken.

Make-Ahead: You can prep the chicken and dressing up to 3 days in advance. For the best results, assemble the wrap just before serving to maintain the crunch of the fresh vegetables.
