03 - Whisk together hot sauce and mayonnaise in small bowl until smooth.
04 - Heat tortillas in dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

# Handy Tips:
01 -
- The spice rub creates this incredible crust that locks in all the chicken's juices while adding layers of smoky flavor
- You get that perfect balance of hot and cool, crunchy and creamy in every single bite
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest for five minutes after cooking makes all the difference between juicy and dry meat
- Dry your lettuce completely or your wrap will get soggy within minutes
03 -
- Slice your chicken against the grain for the most tender bites
- If your tortillas crack when folding, wrap the whole thing in parchment and microwave for ten seconds
