Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps (Printable View)

Juicy chicken with crisp veggies and tangy sweet chili sauce in soft tortillas. Ready in 25 minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 ounces)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

→ Vegetables

06 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
07 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
08 - ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
09 - 4 green onions, thinly sliced
10 - ½ cucumber, sliced into thin strips

→ Sauce

11 - ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for creamier texture)
13 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

→ Wraps

14 - 4 large flour tortillas

# How to Make It:

01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin, even strips approximately ¼ inch wide for even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise if using, and lime juice until thoroughly combined. Set aside for assembly.
04 - Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15 to 20 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until warm and pliable. This prevents cracking during rolling.
05 - Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of sauce across the center area, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
06 - Layer ingredients in order: shredded lettuce base, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, green onions, cucumber strips, and finally the cooked chicken strips.
07 - Drizzle additional sauce over the chicken and vegetables if desired for extra flavor.
08 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla approximately 1 inch, then roll tightly from the bottom upward, ensuring all fillings are securely enclosed.
09 - Slice each wrap in half at a slight angle and serve immediately while chicken is still warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sauce comes together in thirty seconds but tastes like something from a restaurant
  • These wraps hold up beautifully for lunch the next day if wrapped tightly
  • You can customize the vegetables based on whatever needs using up from your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Overfilling these wraps is the rookie move that causes explosions—keep your filling centered and moderate
  • Let the chicken cool for just a minute before assembling so you do not wilt your lettuce
  • The sauce thickens as it sits, so whisk in a teaspoon of water if needed
03 -
  • A handful of crushed peanuts on top adds the most incredible texture contrast
  • If your tortillas crack when folding, wrap the stack in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds
