FAQs
Can I make Quick Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps for Easy Dinner ahead of time?

What’s the best substitute for sweet chili sauce?
Mix equal parts honey, sriracha, and rice vinegar, then add a splash of soy sauce.
How do I store leftovers?
Separate the sauce‑coated chicken from the tortillas to keep the wraps from getting soggy.
Why did my wraps turn out soggy?
Too much sauce or not enough heat when sautéing. Pat the chicken dry and toast the assembled wrap briefly.
