Ingredients

Original recipe yields 8 servings

Ingredient Checklist

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup finely chopped seedless cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup thick and chunky salsa
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves

Directions

  • Step 1
    Mix together the mayonnaise, cucumber, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • Step 2
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast strips until they are beginning to turn golden and are no longer pink in the middle, about 8 minutes. Stir in the salsa, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Stack the tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave oven and heat until warm and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds per batch.
  • Step 4
    Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise-cucumber mixture, top with a layer of baby spinach leaves, and arrange about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture on the spinach leaves.
  • Step 5
    Fold the bottom of each tortilla up about 2 inches, and start rolling the burrito from the right side. When the burrito is half-rolled, fold the top of the tortilla down, enclosing the filling, and continue rolling to make a tight, compact cylinder.
