Main Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Optional Additions
- Shredded cheese
- Avocado slices
- Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
- A squeeze of lime
Pan and Seasoning
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Coat in Sweet Chili Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken with the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated, infusing it with flavor.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrot to add fresh crunch to the wraps.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over low heat for a few seconds on each side or microwave them for 10–15 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay warm tortillas flat and layer with shredded lettuce, the sweet chili chicken, and fresh vegetables. Add optional ingredients like shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime if desired for extra flavor and texture.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Cut the wraps diagonally in half for easy handling and serving.
Notes
- You can use grilled, baked, or store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your preferred level of spice and sweetness.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or basil elevates the flavor with bright notes.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enjoy later.
- To make the wraps vegan, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use a vegan sweet chili sauce.
