Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create a spicy marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb sliced boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, tossing to coat well; let marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred at edges; season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: While the chicken cooks, prepare the slaw by combining 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage, 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage, and 1 julienned medium carrot in a bowl.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tbsp lime juice, then pour over the cabbage mixture; toss with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves until the slaw is evenly coated and fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Warm 6 flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  7. Step 7: To assemble, lay a warm tortilla flat, spoon 3-4 tbsp of the spicy chicken strips onto the center, top with 2-3 tbsp of the crunchy slaw, then wrap tightly.
  8. Step 8: Serve the wraps warm for a spicy, crunchy, and satisfying handheld meal perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

How do I store leftover Laser Tag-Inspired Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Slaw?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep sriracha sauce from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Laser Tag-Inspired Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Slaw?
