Ingredients
  

  • Chicken: 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Tortillas: 4–6 large flour tortillas or whole-wheat wraps
  • Lettuce: 2 cups shredded romaine or mixed greens
  • Tomatoes: 1 cup diced or sliced cherry tomatoes
  • Cucumber: 1 small, thinly sliced (optional for crunch)
  • Red Onion: 1/4 small, thinly sliced
  • Avocado: 1 ripe, sliced (optional for creaminess)
  • Cheese: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss (optional)
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon (for grill or pan)
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or half Dijon, half yellow for milder flavor)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (add more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk the mustard, honey, mayo or yogurt, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust sweetness or tang. Set aside half for dressing the wraps later.
  2. Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Pound breasts to even thickness for faster, more even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Marinate: Toss the chicken with the remaining half of the honey mustard. Let it sit 20–30 minutes at room temp, or up to 8 hours covered in the fridge.
  4. Preheat the grill or pan: Heat a grill to medium-high, or a grill pan/skillet over medium-high with a light brush of olive oil.
  5. Grill the chicken: Cook 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  6. Warm the tortillas: Briefly warm each tortilla on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable (about 15–30 seconds per side). This prevents cracking.
  7. Assemble: Spread a spoonful of reserved honey mustard down the center of each tortilla. Layer lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, avocado, and sliced chicken. Add cheese if using.
  8. Wrap it up: Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. For a sealed edge and a little crunch, place seam-side down on the warm pan for 30–60 seconds.
  9. Serve: Slice in half on a diagonal. Serve with extra sauce for dipping and a side of fruit, chips, or a simple salad.
