Cookware

chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · tongs · whisk or fork

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken with bread crumbs, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper; mix well and shape into two ½-inch-thick patties.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high and lightly brush with oil.
  3. Cut cheddar into thin slices.
  4. Place patties in the skillet; cook 3–4 minutes per side until browned, then top with cheese and cook 3–4 minutes more until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Rinse and dry all produce; separate lettuce leaves and chop the remaining leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey, and Italian seasoning to make the dressing.
  7. Slice one tomato into thin rounds and dice the other tomato; add the diced tomato to the dressing.
  8. Tear lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place whole leaves on a plate; toss the chopped lettuce with the diced tomato and dressing.
  9. Trim and dice the cucumber; add to the salad and toss to combine.
  10. Whisk mayo, ketchup, Dijon, and cayenne in a small bowl to form the special sauce.
  11. Warm the tortillas in a skillet, oven, or microwave if desired.
  12. To assemble, lay one tortilla on a flat surface, add a cheese-topped patty, lettuce, tomato, and a drizzle of the sauce; cover with the second tortilla and cut in half. Serve with the salad.

Two tips

  • Dress the salad a few hours ahead and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
  • Serve with extra tortillas on the side or wrap leftovers for a quick lunch.
