Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps (Printable)
Tender chicken strips with fresh veggies and zesty sweet chili sauce in warm tortillas.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 oz)
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - ½ tsp salt
04 - ¼ tsp black pepper
05 - ½ tsp 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 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for a creamier wrap)
13 - 1 tsp fresh lime juice
→ Wraps
14 - 4 large flour tortillas
# Directions:
01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin, even strips approximately ¼ inch wide for quick and even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning 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 smooth and well combined. Set aside.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15–20 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until warm and pliable.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of sauce over the center, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
06 - Layer with shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, green onions, cucumber strips, and cooked chicken strips.
07 - Drizzle additional sauce over fillings if desired. Fold both sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to enclose filling completely. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sweet chili sauce hits that perfect balance of heat and sweetness that makes you want to take just one more bite
- You can prep everything in advance and assemble them in under two minutes when hunger strikes
02 -
- Cold tortillas tear when you try to fold them, so warming them is nonnegotiable
- Don't overload each wrap or you'll end up with filling all over your plate instead of inside the tortilla
03 -
- Pat your chicken strips dry before seasoning them so they sear rather than steam
- Let the cooked chicken rest for a couple of minutes so the juices redistribute
