  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts (about 400g), thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the firecracker sauce:

  • ¼ cup hot chili sauce (like sriracha)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry for thickening)

For the wraps:

  • 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • ½ cucumber, sliced into matchsticks
  • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or yogurt-based sauce (optional spread)
  • Sesame seeds or green onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the firecracker sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together chili sauce, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
  • In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry.

2. Cook the chicken

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add sliced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and soy sauce.
  • Cook for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.

3. Add firecracker sauce

  • Reduce heat to low and pour the sauce mixture over the cooked chicken.
  • Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch slurry and continue stirring until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.

4. Prepare the vegetables

  • While chicken is cooking, wash and prepare your vegetables.
  • Julienne or slice as desired and set aside for assembling the wraps.

5. Warm the tortillas

  • Lightly heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds until pliable.
  • This prevents tearing when rolling and enhances flavor.

6. Assemble the wraps

  • Spread a thin layer of mayo or yogurt sauce on each tortilla (optional).
  • Add a handful of shredded lettuce or cabbage.
  • Layer sliced carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and chicken.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds or herbs if desired.

7. Wrap and serve

  • Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
  • Slice diagonally and serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.
