how to make Hot Honey Chicken Wraps

Ingredients :

2 cups shredded grilled or rotisserie chicken
⅓ cup Louisiana hot sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
Lettuce (enough to layer each tortilla)
Ranch dressing for drizzling

Directions :

Start by heating a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the hot sauce, honey, and butter to the pan, stirring until everything is melted and blended into a glossy sauce. The aroma alone is enough to get you excited—I always sneak a quick taste! Lower the heat and simmer the sauce for a minute or two.

Toss your shredded chicken into the skillet with the sauce. Stir until all the chicken is fully coated and heated through. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes to allow the chicken to soak up all that sweet and spicy goodness. Set the skillet aside once done.

Lay out a burrito-sized tortilla on a flat surface. Add a layer of fresh lettuce down the center, which adds a refreshing crunch with every bite. Spoon generous portions of the hot honey chicken right on top of the lettuce. Make sure to drain any excess sauce before adding to avoid a soggy wrap. Drizzle with ranch dressing to add a creamy and tangy balance to the bold flavors.

Fold the tortillas burrito-style by tucking in the ends and rolling them up tightly around the chicken and lettuce. If you’re serving others, slice each wrap in half for easy handling and a pretty presentation.
