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
- Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper evenly to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the firecracker sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat all pieces. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and infuse the chicken with spice.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready for assembling the wraps.
- Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the coleslaw mix, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots onto each tortilla. Top the vegetables with the saucy chicken pieces.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to form secure wraps.
- Optional Toasting: For added texture and flavor, place the wraps seam-side down back into the skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until the outside is slightly crispy and golden.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve with extra firecracker sauce on the side for dipping, making an inviting and spicy meal.
Notes
- You can substitute firecracker sauce with any preferred spicy sauce to adjust the heat level.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- Adding garnishes like chopped cilantro or toasted sesame seeds can enhance flavor and presentation.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of firecracker sauce or serve it on the side.
- To save time, precut or shredded chicken can be used but make sure to reheat properly with the sauce.
