# What You’ll Need:

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

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 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic 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 completely. Remove from heat.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave until soft and pliable, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
05 - Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the center of each tortilla if desired. Layer with shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, red onion, and glazed chicken. Top with fresh cilantro leaves if preferred.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Slice in half if preferred. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sauce clings to every bite and tastes like takeout but costs a fraction of the price.
  • You can prep everything in advance and assemble wraps cold or hot depending on your mood.
  • It uses pantry staples you probably already have sitting around.
  • Cleanup is one pan and one bowl, which matters more than people admit.
02 -
  • If you add the sauce while the heat is too high it scorches and tastes bitter, always reduce to low first.
  • Letting the chicken rest for two minutes after glazing helps the sauce set so it doesn't all drip out when you bite.
  • Cold tortillas crack no matter how careful you are, always warm them even if you're in a rush.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken against the grain so it stays tender and doesn't get chewy when it cools.
  • Toast the tortillas with a little butter for extra flavor, it's a small step that makes a big difference.
  • Taste the sauce before adding it to the pan, it's easier to adjust the heat or sweetness when it's still in the bowl.
