These Spicy Thai-Mex Chicken Wraps are a fusion of two beloved cuisines: Thai and Mexican. The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes creates a flavorful and savory marinade for the chicken strips. The addition of coleslaw mix, green chilies, and fresh vegetables add crunch and texture to the wraps. The resulting dish is a delicious and filling meal that is perfect for a quick and easy dinner or lunch.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2.In a large skillet, cook the chicken strips over medium heat until fully cooked. Add the prepared soy sauce mixture and stir well.
