  • 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.
  • 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.
  • stack the tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave oven and heat until warm and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds per batch.
  • 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.
  • 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.
