- 2-3 Chicken Tenders
- 1 handful Lettuce
- 1 Tomato
- 2 Eggs
- A handful of Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese
Zesty Cilantro Dip Sauce- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Onion
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Cilantro (optional, if you’re not a fan)
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Jalapeño or Pickle
- 1/2 Tbsp Tabasco Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Onion
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Cilantro (optional, if you’re not a fan)
- 1 Tbsp finely minced Jalapeño or Pickle
- 1/2 Tbsp Tabasco Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your vegetables. Wash the lettuce thoroughly, pat it dry, and tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato into 0.5cm thick rounds.
Step 2
Next, let’s make the flavorful cilantro dip sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced onion, minced cilantro, minced jalapeño (or pickle), Tabasco hot sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk everything together with a fork or whisk until smooth and well combined. You’ll have a fresh and zesty dip ready to go!
Step 3
Now, let’s cook the chicken tenders. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 4
Time to make a soft cheesy egg roll! Crack the two eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Stir in a handful of shredded cheese. Lightly grease a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour the egg and cheese mixture thinly into the pan and cook, rolling it up like an omelet or egg roll to create a thick layer. It’s important to cook over low heat to ensure the inside is cooked through without burning the outside.
Step 5
Once the cheesy egg roll is cooked, slice it into pieces that will fit nicely inside your tortilla rolls.
Step 6
Let’s make the first tortilla roll in a ‘wrap’ style. Spread a thin layer of the cilantro dip sauce evenly over one tortilla. Layer it with lettuce, tomato slices, the cheesy egg roll pieces, and the crispy chicken tenders. Fold about one-third of the bottom edge of the tortilla upwards. Then, fold in both sides towards the center to enclose the filling. Finally, roll it up tightly from the top.
Step 7
To keep the wrap neat and tidy, use parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place the rolled tortilla onto the paper or wrap, and roll it up tightly from the bottom. Secure the end with a piece of tape to prevent it from unraveling.
Step 8
For the second method, we’ll make a ‘rolled-up’ style tortilla. After spreading sauce on the tortilla and adding your fillings (lettuce, tomato, cheesy egg roll, chicken tender), fold in the left and right sides first to prevent ingredients from spilling out. Using your thumbs, gently push the starting edge forward while simultaneously rolling the tortilla forward, creating a compact cylinder.
Step 9
Similarly, use parchment paper or plastic wrap to tightly roll the second tortilla. Secure the end with tape, and then slice it into desired serving portions. Your delicious rolls are ready!
Step 10
Serve the finished tortilla rolls with the cilantro dip sauce on the side. You can add extra sauce inside the rolls or use it as a dip – either way, it’s delicious! Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce to your liking.
