Instructions
Making this wrap is as easy as shopping for the ingredients. In just a few minutes, you'll have a delicious, healthy wrap that everyone will love.
Step 1: Grill the Chicken
Grease your grill grates and preheat for 10 minutes. While the grill preheats, season the chicken with salt. Then grill until cooked through - about 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken cool and then slice it into strips or shred it.
Step 2: Assemble the Wrap
Place the torn lettuce on the tortilla. Then, add the sliced or shredded chicken breast. Finally, top with honey mustard and shredded cheese and roll it up. Enjoy!
Hint: Be sure to let your grill preheat for a full 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and a lovely grilled exterior.
