# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan and comes together in under half an hour, perfect for those nights when youre too tired to think.
  • The honey mustard dressing is ridiculously easy to tweak: add more honey if your kids are picky, more mustard if you want tang.
  • Theyre easy to pack for lunch the next day and taste even better after the flavors have mingled overnight in the fridge.
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the chicken after cooking, those two minutes let the juices redistribute so every bite stays moist instead of dry.
  • Warm your tortillas or theyll crack when you try to roll them, I learned this the hard way with a pile of torn wraps on my counter.
  • If youre making these ahead, wrap them tightly in foil and keep the dressing on the side until youre ready to eat so the lettuce stays crisp.
03 -
  • If your tortilla keeps unrolling, secure it with a toothpick until youre ready to slice and serve.
  • Let the chicken cool slightly before adding it to the wrap so the heat doesnt wilt the lettuce too fast.
  • Double the dressing recipe and keep extra in a jar, itll save you time the next time you crave these wraps.
