For the chicken:

  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime

For the sauce:

  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1-2 tbsp adobo sauce from a can of chiles in adobo
  • 1 minced jalapeno from a can of chiles in adobo you can leave this out if you want less spice
  • salt to taste

For the slaw:

  • 1 package coleslaw mix I used a rainbow mix
  • sour cream to taste
  • salt to taste
  • lime juice to taste

For the wraps:

  • 4 wraps
  • 2 ripe avocados sliced
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • crushed tortilla chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix the chicken rub ingredients in a ziploc bag and add the tenders. Mix to fully coat then let marinate in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the tenders. Cook, flipping them occasionally, until golden and cooked fully.
  • Mix the slaw with a little sour cream and lime and salt to your taste. I prefer not too much sour cream, just enough to bring it together.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and mix well. Thin with a little water if needed and taste the dressing and adjust the salt, lime, and spices as you desire.
  • Lay a few tenders in the center of the wrap and spread some of the delicious sauce over them. Top with slaw, cheese, avocado, and chips. Roll up into a wrap and cut in half. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
