Ingredient Notes

Below are ingredient notes. For the complete list and quantities, please refer to the recipe card located at the bottom of the page.

• Chicken tenders- Opt for fresh or frozen chicken tenders. Consider using organic or free-range chicken for added quality.
• Olive oil- I use good ol’ olive oil. This ensures the chicken browns nicely and develops a crispy exterior in the air fryer. You can also use canola or avocado oil if you like.
• Bacon- Select your preferred type of bacon, whether it’s hickory or applewood-smoked, regular or thick-cut.
• Seasonings- I coat the chicken tenders in a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
• Lettuce- Use your favorite variety of lettuce, such as romaine, iceberg, or mixed greens for some added freshness and crunch.
• Tomatoes- Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes, such as Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes for the best flavor.
• Tortilla- Select soft flour tortillas, large enough to wrap all of the ingredients. You can also use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
• Honey mustard sauce- For an easy homemade sauce, combine dijon, mayo, apple cider vinegar and honey.

Ingredient Note Substitutions

• Chicken tenders- Instead of chicken tenders, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken.
• Honey mustard sauce- For a healthier sauce option, consider substituting Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise. If making your own sauce isn’t feasible, don’t worry! Store-bought honey mustard will do just fine.
• Tortilla- For a gluten-free or low carb option, use lettuce wraps in place of the tortillas.

Step By Step Instructions

Follow these simple instructions for creating delicious mouthwatering chicken wraps in the comfort of your own kitchen.

STEP 1: Prepare bacon. Set oven to 375℉. Arrange the sliced bacon in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Cook for 12-13 minutes or until desired crispiness. Drain bacon on a paper towel and set aside.

STEP 2: Season. In a large bowl, add chicken tenders and olive oil. Lightly toss to coat the chicken. Then, season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

STEP 3: Cook chicken. Set air fryer 380℉. Place seasoned chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. They are done once they reach 165℉.

STEP 4: Honey mustard sauce- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together mayo, honey, dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt.

STEP 5: Assemble- Warm the tortillas in a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable. Layer with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, chicken and bacon. Spoon the honey mustard over the top and season with salt and pepper.

STEP 6: Roll. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped inside.

STEP 7: Serve. Slice the wraps in half and serve with additional sauce (if desired).

Expert Tips

Marinate the chicken. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken tenders for 30-60 minutes to allow the seasonings to penetrate the meat thoroughly.

Crispy bacon. For perfectly crispy bacon, cook it in the oven on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This method allows the bacon to cook evenly and become extra crispy.

Toast the tortillas. Lightly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few seconds on each side to enhance their flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy. Also, warming the tortillas make them more pliable and prevents them from cracking.

Wrap them tightly. When rolling up the wraps, fold in the sides tightly before rolling from the bottom to the top to prevent any filling from falling out.
