How To Make It

Make The Sauce

Mix the greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Give it a little taste and add more salt, pepper, or hot sauce if you want a bit more punch. Set it aside while you cook the chicken.

Cook The Chicken

Follow the package directions for cooking frozen chicken tenders. If you’re using an air fryer, 12 minutes with a shake halfway makes them crispy on the outside but juicy inside—just right for the wrap.

Mix The Veggies

Toss together the lettuce, carrots, and cucumber in a bowl. Pour about half the honey mustard sauce over the veggies and gently mix so everything is coated. This gives the filling plenty of moisture and flavor.

Put It All Together

Spread a good layer of the honey mustard sauce on a tortilla. Lay down two provolone slices evenly, then crumble the bacon over it. Add a heap of the dressed veggies, then top with two or three chicken tenders. Scatter a few pickle slices and some chopped scallions. Drizzle more sauce on top before rolling the whole thing up tight so everything stays put.

I always loved how the creamy and tangy honey mustard sauce ties everything together. This wrap was a hit at family lunches, sparking talks about just the right crunch to filling ratio.

Keeping It Fresh

Wrap each sandwich tightly with plastic wrap or foil and keep it in the fridge for up to two days. The salad might get soggy if mixed early, so it's better to keep extra sauce separately and add fresh veggies when you're ready to eat. For the best crunch, eat it the same day you make it.

Swap These Ingredients

Go for grilled halloumi or marinated tofu to make it vegetarian and still hold up well inside the wrap. Trade provolone for sharp cheddar or mozzarella to switch things up. Use spinach or romaine in place of green leaf lettuce for a different crunch. Adjust honey and mustard levels to suit your sweet or spicy tastes.

Ways To Serve

Try these wraps with sweet potato fries or a light cucumber salad to complete your meal. A cold sparkling water with lemon or some iced tea pairs beautifully to balance the richness. They're also awesome for picnics or packed lunches on the go.

Seasonal Extras

In summer, add thin slices of fresh tomato or avocado for creamy brightness. When it's cooler, toss in shredded cabbage or roasted red peppers to make it heartier. Using leftover grilled chicken saves time and adds smoky depth in fall and winter.

This wrap nails the mix of creamy, crunchy, and tangy bites that make lunch feel special every time.
