# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil in the pan.

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. Spread a generous spoonful of honey-mustard dressing down the center. Top with lettuce, chicken, tomato, and red onion.
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 Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in half an hour, making it perfect for those evenings when takeout feels tempting but homemade sounds better.
  • The honey mustard dressing is ridiculously easy to make and tastes brighter than anything from a bottle.
  • You can prep the chicken and dressing ahead, then assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It works just as well for meal prep as it does for a quick weeknight dinner with the family gathered around the counter.
02 -
  • Do not skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, those two minutes allow the juices to redistribute so every bite stays moist.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack when you try to roll them, learned that the hard way with fillings spilling everywhere.
  • If your dressing seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to loosen it up for easier drizzling.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that your chicken reaches 165 degrees, it takes the guesswork out and prevents overcooking.
  • Double the honey mustard dressing and keep extra in the fridge, it is fantastic on salads, sandwiches, and even roasted vegetables.
  • If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the dressing for a spicy kick.
