Easy How-To
Marinate That Chicken
Okay, so first things first, mix up your soy sauce, honey, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl. It’s such a simple marinade, but really packs a punch, right? Then, plop your chicken in there, making sure it’s all covered… Let it marinate for, at least, 30 minutes if you can; a little longer just amps up the flavor!
Cook the Chicken
Now, heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat—let it get nice and hot. Once it’s ready, add your marinated chicken. Cook it for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side until it’s perfectly cooked through (like, you want that internal temp to hit 165°F). After that, take it off the heat, let it rest for a bit, and slice it into strips… it’s gonna smell sooo good!
Prep Your Vegetables
While that chicken is resting, you can chop up your bell peppers, onions… and anything else you’re feeling, really. Just get those colorful veggies ready; they’ll add a lovely crunch and freshness to your wraps. Oh, and slice up the avocado too—so creamy and delicious!
Assemble Your Wraps
Grab those big tortillas or, if you’re feeling adventurous, large lettuce leaves! Lay them out flat and pile on your sliced chicken in the center. Then, layer on those gorgeous veggies and avocado. It’s like, beautiful!… To finish, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top—so fresh!
Wrap It Up
Now comes the fun part! Gently fold in the sides of your wrap over the filling and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to keep everything snug inside. You wanna make sure they hold together nicely!
Serve and Enjoy
You can slice each wrap in half if you’re feeling fancy, or just dive in as is. Seriously, the moment you take a bite, it’ll be like flavor fireworks! Just enjoy them while they’re fresh… trust me!
