When I first met my husband he would not eat anything chicken, I mean not one thing.
So I made it my mission when I started cooking to create some chicken recipes that
would change my hubby's mind. I made these spicy chicken wraps and he has been hooked
on them ever since. I don't think he would mind if we had it at least once a week.

First you'll need to marinade the chicken for at least two hours, if not more.
For the marinade you'll need:
- 2 cups H2O
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 TBLS sugar
- 2 TBLS salt
- 2 TBLS white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp pepper
Mix all ingredients in a seal bag with 4 chicken breast and refrigerate for two hours. |
|
Next you'll make pico de gallo. In a small bowl combine:
- 2 med. tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tsp cilantro, torn
- 1/4 tsp salt &pepper
|
|
Cover and refrigerate. Best if made ahead so the ingredients
blend together. |
|
Next is the Mexican dipping sauce. Again make this ahead of time, so the
flavors come together nicely. Combine:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2TBLS minced red onion
- 2 TBLS diced tomato
- 1 TBLS buttermilk
- 1 TBLS white vinegar
- 2 TBLS cilantro
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 salt
- pinch of cayenne and cumin

Cook marinaded chicken either on the bbq or in a 425 degree oven, until done.
when chicken is done chop into small bite size pieces. Next use large tortilla shells,
and melt cheddar cheese in a dry skillet. |
|
Take tortilla out of pan and fill with some chicken, some of the pico de gallo, and
shredded lettuce.
|
|
Roll up and slice. Serve with the Mexican dipping sauce.
It might seem like a lot of ingredients, but most of them repeat themselves
throughout the whole recipe.
For those of you who don't like chicken, give this a try, it might transform you.
For those of you like me who enjoy chicken, this will be
just another chicken dish you'll make quite often. |
These sound really yummy, I will have to try it!
