Main Ingredients Here’s what you’ll need to bring these wraps to life: – 2 large chicken breasts: Boneless and skinless for easy preparation. – 1 cup shredded cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend for a creamy, gooey filling. – 8 small flour tortillas: Look for soft, pliable tortillas that are easy to fold. – ½ cup diced bell peppers: Red, green, or yellow for a burst of color and crunch.
Special Sauces and Seasonings The firecracker sauce is the star of the show. Gather the following: – ¼ cup hot sauce: Adjust to your spice preference. – 2 tbsp honey: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the heat. – 1 tbsp soy sauce: Enhances the umami flavor. – 1 tbsp minced garlic: For an aromatic kick. 1 tsp paprika and cayenne pepper: These spices bring the signature smoky heat.
