Ingredients

• 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
• ½ cup sweet chili sauce
• 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cucumber, sliced thin
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• Optional: shredded cheese
• Optional: avocado slices
• Optional: fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
• Optional: a squeeze of lime
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

If using freshly cooked chicken breasts, season lightly with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and grill or bake until fully cooked. Slice or shred into bite-sized pieces. Rotisserie or leftover chicken works perfectly here for a quick prep.

Place the cooked chicken in a bowl and toss with the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated. Adjust the amount of sauce based on your preference for sweetness or spice.

Step 2: Prep the vegetables

Wash and slice your vegetables. Thinly slice cucumber and bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and shred the lettuce. Pat any moisture from the vegetables with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.

If using herbs, chop the cilantro, basil, or mint finely. Slice avocado if including it.

Step 3: Assemble the wraps

Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface or plate. For each wrap, layer in this order for balance and structure:

1. A handful of lettuce as the base.
2. A generous scoop of sweet chili chicken.
3. A few slices of cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot.
4. Optional toppings like avocado, cheese, or herbs.
5. Add a small squeeze of lime juice over the top for brightness, if desired.

Step 4: Roll and seal

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom upward into a neat wrap. For easier handling, you can lightly toast the wrap in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes per side to warm and seal it.

Slice diagonally down the middle before serving for a cafe-style finish.

Step 5: Serve

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a grab-and-go meal. These wraps taste great cold or slightly warm.
