Chicken Wraps with Mayonnaise-Cucumber Sauce

This recipe yields 8 servings and offers a delicious combination of tender chicken, fresh spinach, and a zesty mayonnaise-cucumber sauce, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, honey, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you're ready to use it.

Step 2: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes.

Step 3: Once the chicken is cooked, 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 together.

Step 4: Meanwhile, stack the tortillas in the microwave (about 4 at a time) and heat for 20 to 30 seconds, or until they are warm and pliable.

Step 5: Take each tortilla and spread 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise-cucumber sauce on it. Layer the spinach leaves on top of the sauce, then place about cup of the chicken mixture on top of the spinach.

Step 6: Fold the bottom of the tortilla up about 2 inches, then start rolling from the right side. When the wrap is halfway rolled, fold the top of the tortilla down to enclose the filling. Continue rolling tightly until you have a compact cylinder-shaped wrap.
