Ingredients
  

Sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup finely chopped seedless cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ground black pepper to taste
Wraps
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup thick and chunky salsa
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 10 inch flour tortillas
  • 1 10 ounce bag baby spinach leaves

Equipment

  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Skillet or grill pan

Method
 

  1. Make the sauce: Mix mayonnaise, cucumber, honey, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  2. Make the wraps: Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken strips; cook and stir until they start to turn golden and are no longer pink in the middle, about 8 minutes. Stir in salsa, honey, and cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stack tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave oven and heat until warm and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds per batch.
  4. Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise-cucumber sauce, top with a layer of spinach, and arrange about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture on top.
  5. Fold the bottom of each 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.
