Tender chicken strips tossed in a chili-honey glaze and wrapped in a soft flour tortilla with crisp lettuce. The contrast between the heat of the sauce and the cool crunch of the greens is addictive. Perfect for a quick on-the-go lunch that doesn't compromise on bold flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Light Mayonnaise
  • 1 piece(s) Seedless Cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 85 g Chicken Breast, cut into thin strips
  • 30 cup Thick and Chunky Salsa
  • 1 piece(s) Whole Wheat Tortilla
  • 56 g Baby Spinach Leaves

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, cucumber, honey, cayenne pepper and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  2. Make the filling for the wrap. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring, until they begin to turn golden and are no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add the salsa, honey and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended, about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the tortilla in the microwave oven and microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until the tortilla is warm and soft.
  5. Spread the sauce on the tortilla, lay a layer of spinach, and top with the chicken.
  6. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up about 2 inches, and start rolling from the right side. When wrap is halfway rolled, fold the top of the tortilla down, enclosing the filling, and continue rolling to make a tight, compact cylinder.
