Juicy chicken, crisp veggies, and tangy sweet chili sauce in soft tortillas for a quick, flavorful meal.
# What You Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 oz)
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - ½ tsp salt
04 - ¼ tsp black pepper
05 - ½ tsp garlic powder
→ Vegetables
06 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
07 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
08 - ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
09 - 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
10 - ½ cucumber, sliced into thin strips
→ Sauce
11 - ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
13 - 1 tsp lime juice
→ Wraps
14 - 4 large flour tortillas
# How-To:
01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips against the grain for even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise if using, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15–20 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of sauce over the center area, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
06 - Layer ingredients in the following order: shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, bell pepper slices, spring onions, cucumber strips, and cooked chicken strips.
07 - Drizzle additional sauce over the filling if desired. Fold both sides of the tortilla inward toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to form a secure wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Everything comes together in under 30 minutes, which is a game changer when you are hungry and tired
- The balance between the sweet chili heat and cool fresh vegetables makes each bite exciting
02 -
- Cold tortillas will crack and fall apart, so warming them first is the step you cannot skip
- Do not overstuff or you will never get a tight roll that stays together
03 -
- Let the chicken rest for a minute after cooking so the juices redistribute
- Pat your vegetables dry with a paper towel so your wraps do not get soggy
