2. Step 2: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
3. Step 3: Toss the sliced chicken with the sweet chili sauce until well coated.
4. Step 4: Prepare the vegetables by slicing cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips and julienning the carrot.
5. Step 5: Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable.
6. Step 6: Assemble your wraps by layering chicken, shredded lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and any optional extras like cheese, avocado slices, or fresh herbs.
7. Step 7: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, roll it tightly, and cut the wrap diagonally in half to serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before rolling the wrap.
• Swap sweet chili sauce for a spicy sriracha mayo if you prefer heat over sweetness.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add a nutritional boost.
• Grill the vegetables briefly for a smoky twist.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep tortillas wrapped to prevent drying out. Assemble wraps just before eating to maintain freshness. Reheat chicken gently in a microwave or skillet before assembling if desired.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts?

Yes, rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful option. Just shred or slice it and toss with the sweet chili sauce as directed.

Can these wraps be made ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare the ingredients in advance but assemble the wraps just before serving. This prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy and keeps the vegetables fresh and crisp.
