Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup mixed greens (like lettuce and spinach)
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack works great)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
For a Creamy Sauce (optional)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

How to Make Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wrap
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. (Make sure there’s no pink inside for safety and flavor!)
Add Spice: Stir in the Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is combined and coated in that delicious spice.
Prepare the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave them for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer some mixed greens, the spicy chicken, cheese, and diced tomatoes. (Don’t overfill; it’s easier to wrap!)
Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up.
Serve or Grill (optional): You can eat them as is, or grill them on a panini press for a minute to get a crispy texture.
