Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced red onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sriracha sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.
  3. Brush the chicken breasts with the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the glaze is caramelized. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, and sriracha sauce to make the sauce for the wraps.
  7. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
  8. To assemble the wraps, spread a tablespoon of the sauce onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with more sauce if desired.
  9. Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to create a wrap.
  10. Serve the sweet and spicy chicken wraps as a whole or sliced in half for a delicious meal.
