Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

      - Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is generously coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

        Cook the Chicken:

          - Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat to get it nice and hot.

            - Once heated, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and grill the thighs for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side. The chicken should be fully cooked through and have a slight char (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

              - Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

                Prepare the Veggies:

                  - In a large bowl, add the shredded carrot, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, purple cabbage, and chopped green onions.

                    - Drizzle sesame oil and lime juice over the veggies, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss the mixture until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

                      Assemble the Wraps:

                        - On a clean surface, take one tortilla and lay it flat. Start layering with slices of avocado in the center, followed by the vibrant veggie mixture, and top with the sliced grilled chicken.

                          - Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

                            Wrap it Up:

                              - Fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the fillings, then roll it up tightly starting from the bottom towards the top, tucking the contents as you go to secure the wrap.

                                - Repeat this assembly process for the remaining tortillas.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on plates. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra boost of zesty flavor.
