Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2–3 cups cooked chicken (grilled, shredded, or breaded)
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
Vegetables and Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1–2 cups shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced thin
- ½ cucumber, sliced into matchsticks
Optional Add-ons
- 4 tbsp cream cheese, ranch, or Greek yogurt
- Chopped cilantro
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken thoroughly with the sweet chili sauce until each piece is generously coated, ensuring full flavor coverage.
- Warm the tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to roll without tearing.
- Add creamy base (optional): Spread about 1 tablespoon of your choice of cream cheese, ranch dressing, or Greek yogurt evenly over each warmed tortilla to add richness and moisture.
- Assemble the wraps: Layer the shredded lettuce or cabbage evenly over the tortillas, followed by the sauced chicken, then the julienned carrot, thinly sliced red bell pepper, cucumber matchsticks, and optional herbs like chopped cilantro and green onions. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for extra crunch and flavor.
- Roll and serve: Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, securing all fillings inside. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps for a gluten-free option.
- Use grilled chicken for a smoky flavor or breaded chicken for added crunch.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your preferred spice and sweetness levels.
- The optional creamy base helps balance the spice and adds moisture but can be omitted for a lighter wrap.
- These wraps can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but assemble just before eating to maintain crispness of vegetables.
