Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

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

Vegetables and Fillings

  • 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)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap and Extras

  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken 🍗: If not using leftover chicken, cook chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Let cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces to create the perfect base for the wraps.
  2. Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce 🌶️: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the sweet chili sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the spicy-sweet glaze that will give the wraps their signature flavor.
  3. Prepare the Veggies 🥬🥕🥒: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Shred the carrots, slice the cucumber thinly, and thinly slice the red onion. If using avocado, slice it just before assembly to avoid browning and maintain freshness.
  4. Assemble the Wraps 🌯: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the center if desired for extra creaminess. Add a handful of greens, followed by the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado if using. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle lime juice over the filling and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Roll and Serve 🔄: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to secure the fillings. Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. For later consumption, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Leftover cooked chicken works perfectly for this recipe, saving preparation time.
  • Choose whole wheat tortillas for a healthier, higher fiber option.
  • Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt is optional but adds creaminess and balances the sweet chili sauce’s heat.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • Avocado and cheese add richness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best taste.
