Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 1/3 cup Frank’s Original Hot Sauce
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Main
- 8 breaded chicken fingers (warm from the deli or frozen, fully cooked before eating)
- 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small tomato (sliced)
- 2 cups chopped lettuce
Instructions
- Prepare Sticky Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is heated through and begins to boil, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce stand for a few minutes to thicken.
- Cook Chicken Fingers: If using frozen chicken fingers, bake them according to the package directions until fully cooked and crispy. Warm chicken fingers from the deli can be used as is.
- Coat Chicken Fingers: Place the cooked chicken fingers in a large bowl. Pour the prepared sticky sauce evenly over the chicken fingers. Gently toss using tongs to coat all pieces thoroughly with the sticky sauce.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas. Place two sauce-coated chicken fingers onto each tortilla. Add shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, and sliced tomato as desired.
- Wrap and Serve: Roll up the tortillas tightly to enclose the fillings. Serve the wraps immediately while the chicken is still warm, and enjoy your sticky chicken finger wraps!
Notes
- If using frozen chicken fingers, be sure to cook them completely before tossing with sauce.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce and brown sugar to your preferred sweetness and heat level.
- To make this meal easier for on-the-go, wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper.
- Substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free or low-carb wraps if desired.
- For extra flavor, consider adding sliced avocado or ranch dressing inside the wrap.
