A quick and easy wrap featuring tender honey mustard chicken and crunchy cabbage wrapped in a soft tortilla, perfect for a satisfying lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 10 oz) cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 2 cups (about 3.5 oz) green cabbage, finely shredded (red cabbage optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, shredded carrot, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
  2. Mix the chicken: Add shredded or chopped cooked chicken into the sauce and stir well until each piece is lightly coated. Set aside for about 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
  3. Prep the cabbage: Finely shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline into thin, even strips.
  4. Warm the tortillas (optional): Heat each flour tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, place a generous handful of shredded cabbage in the center, top with a scoop of the honey mustard chicken mixture, and add any optional extras like sliced avocado or shredded carrot. Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the cabbage crunch. If preparing ahead, keep filling and tortillas separate and assemble just before eating.

Notes

Use firm, fresh cabbage for best crunch. Letting the chicken sit in the honey mustard sauce for a few minutes improves flavor. Warm tortillas briefly to prevent tearing. Assemble wraps just before eating to keep cabbage crisp. For gluten-free, use corn or gluten-free tortillas. For dairy-free, substitute mayo with dairy-free mayo or Greek yogurt with a vegan alternative.
