Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap and 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)
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Condiments

  • 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.
  2. Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the sweet chili sauce. Mix well so every piece is coated with the spicy-sweet glaze.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Slice cucumber, shred carrots, and thinly slice red onion. Slice avocado just before assembling to avoid browning.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if using. Add greens, then layer sweet chili chicken, carrots, cucumber, onion, and avocado. Sprinkle cheese and fresh cilantro on top. Drizzle fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roll and Serve: Fold sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to enclose ingredients. Slice in half if desired. Serve immediately or wrap in foil/plastic wrap for later consumption.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken for faster preparation; leftover rotisserie chicken works great.
  • Prep crunchy vegetables just before assembling to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust sweet chili sauce based on your heat preference.
  • Cheese adds creamy texture but is optional.
  • Warm tortillas slightly before assembling for easier rolling.
  • For a spicier variation, add peanut sauce or buffalo wing sauce as described in recipe variations.
  • Store components separately for meal prep to prevent sogginess.
