Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps are a flavorful and easy-to-make meal featuring tender chicken coated in sweet chili sauce, fresh crunchy vegetables, and optional creamy avocado or cheese, all wrapped in soft tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Vegetables and Wraps

  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned

Optional Extras

  • Shredded cheese (as desired)
  • Avocado slices
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
  • A squeeze of lime

Instructions

  1. Season and Cook Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  2. Rest and Slice Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain juices. Then, slice the chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  3. Coat Chicken with Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken in the sweet chili sauce until each piece is well coated, enhancing flavor and moisture.
  4. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips, and julienne the carrot to add fresh crunch and color to the wraps.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry pan over low heat or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable and easy to roll.
  6. Assemble Wraps: On each warm tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, sauced chicken, and prepared vegetables. Add optional extras like shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
  7. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • Whole wheat tortillas increase fiber content for a healthier option.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness and enhance flavor — feel free to mix and match.
  • For a vegan version, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use vegan wraps and sauces.
  • Store unused components separately to keep tortillas from getting soggy.
