SRIRACHA CHICKEN WRAP

Sriracha Chicken Wrap is one of our favorite healthy and delicious recipes for lunch or dinner. It’s easy and quick to prepare and is loaded with lots of fresh vegetables which is a great way of including them in kids meals. If made with homemade flour tortillas this dish is simply amazing and kids will ask for more. Homemade tortillas do take some time to prepare but the good news is that you can also prepare them in advance and refrigerate or freeze for later use. They really do make a difference, once you try them out you won’t turn back to the store-bought ones.

This time I’ve used Sriracha and honey for seasoning the chicken but you can also prepare the chicken very simple with just some salt, pepper, soy sauce or paprika if made for kids who don’t like spicy food. You can also add different vegetables and fresh herbs, whatever you like best.

Definitely a healthy, delicious, quick and easy recipe for an amazing meal that takes less than 30 minutes. Try it out my friends, it’s simply awesome.
