Servings: 6 snack wraps
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
- 6 Flour Tortilla taco sized
- 3 colby jack cheese slices cut in half
- 1/4 small red onion sliced thin
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- blackened seasoning
- mayonnaise
- Sweet Baby Ray's golden mustard
Blackened Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon mild paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare chicken tenders by removing the tendons, then drizzle chicken with olive oil, rubbing them on all sides. Sprinkle over the blackened seasoning on the front and back of the tenders, working it into the chicken to cover both sides in seasoning.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken tenders (working in batches to not overcrowd the pan if needed). Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes or until underside is dark golden brown, then flip once and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook 2-3 more minutes and set chicken aside under tented foil.
- In a clean skillet over low heat, warm the tortillas about 30 seconds per side. To assemble the wraps, spread the center on the wrap with mayo. Add on 1-2 chicken tenders, lay the cheese on top, add red onions, shredded lettuce and top it with a drizzle of honey mustard.
