Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

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

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)

Additional Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

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 that perfect spicy-sweet glaze.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Wash and shred the lettuce or greens. Slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. If using avocado, slice it just before assembling to prevent browning.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (if using) in the center. Add a handful of greens, then layer on the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, onion, and avocado if using. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. Squeeze a little lime juice on top and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, making sure all the ingredients stay inside. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap in foil/plastic wrap for later.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked chicken or cook fresh chicken breasts by your preferred method.
  • For a healthier option, choose whole wheat wraps and Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • Add avocado just before assembling to keep it fresh and green.
  • These wraps can be prepared in advance and stored wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Customize by adding other fresh veggies like bell peppers or sprouts for extra crunch.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas and adjust the sauce accordingly.
