Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

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

Wrap & Veggies

  • 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

Optional Ingredients

  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

Additional Flavorings

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 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 completely, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  2. Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with sweet chili sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated with the spicy-sweet glaze.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Wash and shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Thinly slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and slice the red onion. If using avocado, slice it just before assembly to maintain freshness and prevent browning.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if using, in the center of each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, followed by the sweet chili chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado slices if desired. Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped cilantro on top. Drizzle fresh lime juice over the filling, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Slice the wrap in half if preferred, and serve immediately. For later use, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked chicken or prepare chicken fresh as per your convenience.
  • For a healthier option, choose whole wheat wraps over flour tortillas.
  • Avocado and cheese are optional but add creaminess and extra flavor.
  • Mayonnaise can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lower-fat option.
  • To make this recipe vegan, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use vegan cheese and sauce alternatives.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce depending on your spice preference.
  • To store, keep wraps airtight in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
