Key Ingredients
- 300g Chicken Tenderloin
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 2 cups Prepared Lettuce (approx. 100g)
- 2 Tbsp Mustard Sauce
- 100g Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 Tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 300g of chicken tenderloin. Place it in a zip-top bag or bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to marinate the chicken, letting it rest for about 10 minutes. This will make the chicken more tender and flavorful.
Step 2
Prepare two 8-inch tortillas. Gently warm them on a dry, preheated pan for a few seconds on each side. This makes the tortillas pliable and prevents them from tearing when rolled. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 3
Lay out plastic wrap. Place the warmed tortillas on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping them in the center. This provides a stable base for the filling and helps with rolling.
Step 4
Arrange 2 cups of the prepared lettuce (about 100g) evenly over the tortillas. Ensure the lettuce is washed, dried thoroughly, and then chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of mustard sauce evenly over the lettuce. The zesty flavor of the mustard sauce complements the chicken and cuts through any richness.
Step 6
Now, add the marinated chicken tenderloin to a preheated pan without any additional oil. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally. The natural juices and oil from the chicken will be sufficient for cooking.
Step 7
When the chicken is almost cooked through, use a spatula or the back of a spoon to break it apart into smaller, bite-sized pieces directly in the pan. Continue to stir-fry until evenly cooked and slightly broken down. This texture helps the filling stay together in the wrap.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the heat. While the chicken is still hot, add 100g of mozzarella cheese and stir well to combine. The residual heat will melt the cheese, binding the chicken pieces together and creating a wonderfully chewy texture. Don’t skimp on the cheese – it makes it extra delicious!
Step 9
Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the lettuce on the tortilla. The melted cheese will help hold everything in place.
Step 10
Using the plastic wrap, tightly roll up the tortilla like a sushi roll or burrito, ensuring the filling is enclosed securely. Once rolled, let it rest wrapped for about 10 minutes; this helps it hold its shape. Then, slice the wrap in half.
Step 11
Enjoy your chicken wrap! You’ll experience a delightful combination of soft tortilla, crisp lettuce, gooey cheese, and chewy chicken in every bite. It’s a simple yet incredibly satisfying and nutritious meal!
