Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Season the pieces evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté them until they are cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the Sauce: Pour the firecracker sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and infuse the chicken with flavor.
Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface to prepare for assembly.
Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the coleslaw mix, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots among the tortillas. Then, top each tortilla with the saucy chicken mixture.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top to secure all fillings inside, forming a wrap.
Optional Toasting: For a warm, slightly crispy wrap, place the wraps seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Toast each side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling. Serve immediately with additional firecracker sauce on the side for dipping, and garnish with optional cilantro or sesame seeds if desired.
