Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 1/3 cup Frank’s Original Hot Sauce
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Wraps
- 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 the Sticky Sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce heats thoroughly and starts to boil, about 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the saucepan from the burner. Let the sauce stand for a few minutes to thicken.
- Cook the Chicken Fingers: If using frozen chicken fingers, bake them according to the package instructions to ensure they are fully cooked and crispy.
- Coat Chicken Fingers with Sauce: Place the cooked chicken fingers in a large bowl. Pour the sticky sauce over them and gently toss using tongs until all the chicken fingers are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a large flour tortilla and place two sauced chicken fingers onto each one. Add the desired amount of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, and sliced tomato on top.
- Wrap and Serve: Carefully wrap up each tortilla, enclosing the fillings. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious sticky chicken finger wraps.
Notes
- If preferred, add extra veggies like sliced onions or bell peppers for extra crunch.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce or brown sugar to suit your preferred sweetness and heat level.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
- Ensure chicken fingers are fully cooked if using frozen before tossing in the sauce.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy.
