Honey Mustard Crunch Wrap Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Tortilla wrap: 1 large flour or whole wheat tortilla (or any wrap of your choice)
- Protein: 6 oz grilled chicken breast (or turkey breast, tofu, or chickpeas for a vegetarian option)
- Cheese: 1 slice of cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese (optional, for extra meltiness)
- Lettuce: A handful of crisp romaine lettuce or mixed greens
- Cucumber: ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- Carrot: 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
- Red bell pepper: ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Pickles: A few slices of dill pickles (optional, for extra crunch)
- Crispy element: A handful of crispy fried onions or crispy chickpeas (for the crunch factor)
- Honey mustard sauce:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise (if using). Add salt and pepper to taste, and set aside. This will be the sweet and tangy sauce that ties the wrap together.
2. Prepare the Protein:
- If using grilled chicken breast, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. You can also substitute with turkey breast or any protein of your choice.
- If you’re using tofu, cube and lightly pan-fry until crispy.
3. Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay the tortilla wrap flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the honey mustard sauce in the center of the wrap.
- Layer the grilled chicken (or your chosen protein) on top of the sauce.
- Add a slice of cheese (optional).
- Add a handful of lettuce or mixed greens, followed by slices of cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper.
- Place a few slices of pickles (if using) for extra crunch and tang.
- Top with a handful of crispy fried onions or crispy chickpeas to bring in that satisfying crunch.
4. Wrap and Serve:
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing all the ingredients inside.
- Slice the wrap in half at a diagonal or serve it whole.
Serving Suggestions:
- Side Dishes: Serve with crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Beverage: Pair with an iced tea, lemonade, or a light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
Tips:
- Honey Mustard Variations: Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or mustard to suit your taste.
- Extra Crunch: You can add crispy bacon or croutons inside the wrap for even more crunch.
- Protein Options: For a vegetarian version, crispy tempeh or grilled tofu would be perfect substitutes for chicken.
- Wrap Options: For a low-carb alternative, try using a lettuce wrap or a whole grain wrap.
