Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup firecracker sauce (or your favorite spicy sauce)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Wrap
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- ½ cup green onions, chopped
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional garnishes: cilantro, sesame seeds, or additional sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season them evenly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Sauce: Pour ½ cup of firecracker sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and infuse the chicken with flavor.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out 4 large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for assembling the wraps.
- Assemble the Wraps: Evenly distribute 1 cup of coleslaw mix, ½ cup chopped green onions, and ½ cup shredded carrots among the tortillas. Top each with the saucy chicken mixture.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla tightly and roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely, forming the wrap.
- Optional Toasting: For added texture and flavor, place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the outside until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Slice the wraps diagonally in half and serve them with extra firecracker sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious and spicy Firecracker Chicken Wraps!
