Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned pineapple, drained)

1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large tortillas (whole wheat or flour work well)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, garlic powder, ground ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure each piece of chicken is well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken along with all the marinade. Sauté the chicken for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly cooked and begins to caramelize on the edges.

      Add the Vegetables and Pineapple: To the skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly and the pineapple is warmed and starting to caramelize, enhancing its sweetness.

        Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the sweet and spicy chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, ensuring a balanced amount of chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward towards the filling, then starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling completely. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Serve: If desired, slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
