How to Make Chicken Wrap with Honey Mustard Sauce
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
If making your own chicken tenders, prepare a batch in the air fryer according to your go-to recipe (excluding buffalo sauce). \Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Honey Mustard Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grainy dijon mustard, honey, and vinegar until smooth.
Step 3: Prep the Veggies
In a mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, shredded lettuce, diced pickles, sliced radishes, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Toss with about ¾ of the honey mustard sauce, saving the rest for drizzling.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat. Add half of the slaw mixture to the center of each.
Top with two chicken strips, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar, and a drizzle of remaining sauce.
Step 5: Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides, roll up from the bottom, and wrap tightly.
Slice in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
