Ingredients
  

For the slaw:

  • 3 cups 225 grams shredded green cabbage
  • ½ cup 50 grams shredded carrot
  • ½ cup 125 grams honey mustard sauce (see recipe for spicy honey mustard, or use your favorite store-bought brand)
  • ¼ teaspoon 1 gram ground black pepper

For the chicken:

  • Enough high smoke point oil for frying such as vegetable, canola, or peanut oil (around 3 cups or 720 ml)
  • 1 pound 450 grams chicken tenderloins
  • ¼ cup 60 ml buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup 90 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams paprika
  • ½ teaspoon 2.5 grams ground black pepper

To assemble:

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • ½ cup 75 grams diced tomato
  • ½ cup 75 grams sliced dill pickles
  • 1 cup 100 grams shredded cheese (pepper Jack, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack are all good options)

Instructions
 

For the slaw:

  • Combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, honey mustard, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.

For the chicken:

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or cast-iron pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  • Dredge the chicken tenderloins in the flour mixture, then dip them in the buttermilk mixture, and coat them again in the flour mixture.
  • Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

To assemble the wraps:

  • Spread honey mustard slaw, diced tomatoes, sliced pickles, shredded cheese, and chicken tenders in the center of each tortilla.
  • You can slice or chop the chicken tenders if you prefer.
  • Add more honey mustard sauce if desired.
  • Fold one or both sides of the tortilla inwards, then fold the bottom flap over the top to close the wrap.
  • Serve the wraps warm.
