Whether you’re packing a work lunch or taking a picnic to the park, these simple chicken wraps are packed with flavor and completely customizable.
From my kitchen to yours.
This summer has been the summer of a tangy coleslaw. I’ve always loved a creamy coleslaw or pineapple coleslaw. But lately, I like a simple cabbage slaw without mayo. A crisp and tangy apple cider vinaigrette to give recipes a pop of fresh and bright flavor.
I took the slaw that I use on our firecracker nachos and paired it with a homemade chipotle honey mustard sauce on these chicken wraps.
A lightly fried chicken tender pairs perfectly with the bright flavored slaw and warm chipotle sauce. But you can use grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken for a lighter option if you prefer.
Make a lettuce wrap or use a carb-friendly tortilla if you need low carbs. And if you love Mexican flavors, try our Mexican coleslaw on this wrap!
Enjoy! -Julie

Instructions
- Make our fried chicken tenders, or buy frozen chicken tenders and air fry them. You can also use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken. 8 cooked chicken tenders
- Make the slaw by adding all of the ingredients in a bowl and mixing. Stir several times after making the slaw to ensure the vinegar dressing evenly coats the cabbage slaw. 1 ½ cups shredded red cabbage, 1 ½ cups shredded green cabbage, ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, ⅓ cup thin sliced cucumber, ¼ cup shredded carrots, ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar, 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the chipotle honey mustard. ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, ½ teaspoon whole mustard seed
- Lay out one tortilla. Place some of the slaw on top of the tortilla. (If you're not serving right away, dab the slaw on a paper towel slightly so it doesn't make the wrap soggy.) Drizzle a little sauce over the slaw. 4 flour tortilla wraps
- Place two chicken fingers on top of the slaw, then top with a little more sauce.
- Roll the wrap like a burrito and serve.

Chicken Wrap Variations
The best thing about chicken wraps is that you can completely make them your own based on the ingredients you have. Here are a few ideas:
- The wrap. Use whole wheat tortillas, a large leaf of romaine lettuce for a lettuce wrap, spinach tortillas or low carb tortillas.
- The chicken. I used chicken tenders, but grill chicken breasts to make a grilled chicken wraps. Air fry frozen chicken strips make a great crispy chicken wrap.
- The dressing. Try the honey mustard dressing, but if you love ranch, try ranch dressing as a creamy dressing. It would be great with this soft tortilla wrap.
- Add cheese. Monterey jack, cheddar cheese, or even swiss would pair well with this wrap.
- More fresh veggies. Try corn, thin sliced tomatoes, avocado, or arugula for added texture.
