How to Make Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps
- In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Stir well so the chicken is fully coated in the sauce.
- Allow the mixture to sit for at least 5 minutes. This helps all the flavors blend together beautifully.
- Warm the tortillas to make them easy to roll. You can heat them in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds on each side or microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 10-15 seconds.
- Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface, ready for filling.
- Spread a generous layer of shredded lettuce down the center of the tortilla.
- Add shredded carrots, sliced cucumber (if you’re using it), and cilantro (if desired) on top of the lettuce.
- Spoon a portion of the sweet chili chicken mixture over the veggies.
- Optionally, layer sliced avocado over the chicken mixture.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling inside.
- Cut the wrap in half if you wish, and serve immediately!
How to Serve Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps
