Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce

Wraps & Vegetables

  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ½ avocado, sliced (optional)

Additional Toppings

  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: If not using leftover chicken, cook chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Let them cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces for easy layering in the wraps.
  2. Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the sweet chili sauce. Mix thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the spicy-sweet glaze that gives the wraps their signature flavor.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Slice the cucumber thinly, shred the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. If including avocado, slice it just before assembling to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the center if using, to add creaminess. Add a handful of greens, then layer on the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, onion, and avocado slices if desired. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and chopped fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fillings and season with salt and pepper to taste for a bright finishing touch.
  5. Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, ensuring all ingredients stay securely inside. Slice each wrap in half if preferred and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap to enjoy later.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative, use whole wheat or low-carb wraps.
  • Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt is optional; omit for a lighter wrap or to suit dietary preferences.
  • Avocado adds creaminess but can be left out if unavailable or undesired.
  • You can substitute cooked shredded chicken with rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to make the wraps milder or spicier according to your taste.
  • Wraps can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but are best eaten fresh to prevent sogginess.
