Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups mayonnaise
• 0.25 Cups seedless cucumber, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) honey
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1.5 Pounds (lb) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
• 1 Cup salsa
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) honey
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 8 10 Inch flour tortillas
• 10 Ounces (oz) baby spinach leaves

Steps

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced cucumber, honey, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of ground black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
3. Add Flavor to Chicken: Stir in the salsa, honey, and cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend.
4. Warm the Tortillas: Stack the tortillas in batches of four and microwave them for 20 to 30 seconds until they are warm and pliable.
5. Assemble the Wraps: Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise-cucumber sauce over each tortilla. Add a layer of baby spinach leaves, then top with approximately 0.5 cups of the chicken mixture.
6. Roll the Wraps: Fold the bottom of each tortilla up about 2 inches, then roll from the right side. When halfway rolled, fold the top down to enclose the filling, and continue rolling to form a tight, compact wrap.
