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

Vegetables

  • 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)

Wrap Components

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, cook chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Allow to cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces for easy wrapping.
  2. Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce: In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with ½ cup of sweet chili sauce ensuring each piece is well coated with the spicy-sweet glaze.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Thinly slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. Slice avocado just before assembly to prevent browning.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if using. Add a layer of greens, then the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, onion, and avocado slices if using. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fillings, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roll and Serve: Fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to keep the fillings secure. Slice in half if preferred. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for later consumption.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken such as leftover rotisserie for quick assembly.
  • Keep veggies fresh by prepping them just before assembly or storing separately.
  • Adjust sweet chili sauce amount to control spice level.
  • Cheese adds creamy balance but is optional.
  • Warm tortillas slightly for easier rolling.
  • Wrap tightly in foil for packed lunches to maintain shape.
  • Add avocado just before eating to avoid browning and sogginess.
