Ingredients

2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

0.5 cup (120 ml) sweet chili sauce

4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps

1 cup (50 g) shredded lettuce or mixed greens

0.5 cup (50 g) shredded carrots

0.5 cup (50 g) cucumber, thinly sliced

0.25 cup (30 g) red onion, thinly sliced

0.5 avocado, sliced

0.25 cup (25 g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

2 tbsp (6 g) chopped fresh cilantro

2 tbsp (30 g) mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: If using raw chicken, cook the chicken breast by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken pieces with sweet chili sauce. Toss thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 3: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Shred the carrots, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. Slice the avocado just before assembling to prevent browning.

Step 4: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the center if desired. Arrange the greens first, then layer the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, red onion, and avocado.

Step 5: Top the fillings with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly to encase the filling. Slice in half if preferred and serve immediately, or wrap securely in foil or plastic wrap for later.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.

Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier flavor.

Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to increase nutritional value.

Include chopped peanuts or cashews for added crunch and texture.

Prepare the chicken and vegetables ahead to speed up assembly on busy days.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the wrap from becoming soggy, consider storing the chicken mixture and vegetables separately and assembling fresh before eating. Reheat the chicken mixture in the microwave before adding cold ingredients, if desired.

FAQs

Can I use other proteins instead of chicken?

Yes, cooked shrimp, tofu, or sliced beef work well with sweet chili sauce and can be used as alternatives.

How spicy are these wraps?

The sweetness of the chili sauce balances the mild heat, making these wraps mildly spicy. Adjust the spice level by choosing sweet chili sauce with more or less heat or adding fresh chilies.
