Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan

- Tongs or spatula
- Microwave or skillet (for warming tortillas)
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat optional)
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- ½ cup cucumber, sliced
- Optional: 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for creaminess
Instructions
- Cook chicken: Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add sauce: Reduce heat, pour in sweet chili sauce, and toss chicken until coated and sticky. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Prepare vegetables: Slice lettuce, peppers, and cucumbers.
- Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas briefly in skillet or microwave to make pliable.

Notes
- For juicier chicken: Use thighs instead of breasts.

- Variations: Try grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas; add sriracha for extra spice.
- Tip: Always warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
