Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken breast, diced bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce such as sriracha or chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey for the sticky glaze
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 cups vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers, lettuce) sliced or shredded
  • 4 large tortillas flour or flour-blend wraps
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying
  • Optional scallions, sliced for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs or wooden spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through with a crispy exterior.
  2. While the chicken cooks, whisk together hot sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl to create the fiery glaze. This sauce will give the chicken its signature spicy-sweet coating.
  3. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet and stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy, coating the crispy chicken in a fiery glaze.
  4. While the chicken is coating in the sauce, prepare your vegetables by slicing bell peppers, cucumbers, and shredded lettuce. Keep them ready for assembly.
  5. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. This makes rolling easier and prevents tearing.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon some of the crisp, glazed chicken into the center, then add your sliced vegetables on top. For added flavor, sprinkle with sliced scallions if using.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from one end to the other, enclosing all fillings inside. Repeat for remaining wraps.
  8. Serve immediately while the chicken is crispy and the vegetables are fresh. Optionally, garnish with extra scallions or a splash of hot sauce for more heat.

Notes

For an extra crunchy finish, bake the assembled wraps at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. Adjust spice levels by adding more hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Use your favorite fresh vegetables for maximum crunch and flavor.
