# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Honey Sriracha Sauce

04 - 3 tablespoons honey
05 - 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
06 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
08 - 1 clove garlic, minced

→ Wraps Assembly

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
11 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
12 - 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
13 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
14 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise, optional
15 - Fresh cilantro leaves, optional

# Directions:

01 - Whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken strips with salt and black pepper, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
03 - Reduce heat to low. Pour honey sriracha sauce over cooked chicken and toss to coat evenly. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes the chicken. Remove from heat.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave until soft and pliable, approximately 30 seconds per side.
05 - Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the center of each tortilla if using. Layer with lettuce, carrot, bell pepper, red onion, and glazed chicken. Top with fresh cilantro if desired.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Slice in half diagonally if preferred. Serve immediately.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • Ready in half an hour but tastes like you spent way longer planning it.
  • The glaze clings to every bite without being messy or overpowering.
  • You can wrap it up and take it anywhere, no reheating needed.
  • It satisfies spicy cravings and sweet tooth moments at the same time.
02 -
  • Slice the chicken thin and even so every piece cooks at the same rate and absorbs the glaze properly.
  • Don't skip reducing the heat before adding the sauce or it will burn and turn bitter instead of caramelizing.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack when you try to roll them, ruining the whole wrap.
03 -
  • Taste the sauce before adding it to the chicken and adjust the sriracha or honey to match your heat preference.
  • Use tongs to toss the chicken in the glaze so every piece gets coated evenly without breaking apart.
  • Prep all your vegetables ahead of time so assembly goes fast and the chicken stays warm.
