This Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap is a delicious Asian fusion lunch or dinner option that features tender, sticky glazed chicken combined with fresh vegetables and a spicy-sweet chili sauce, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla for a satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1 pound Boneless chicken breast - cut into strips
  • ½ cup Sweet chili sauce - Thai-style preferred
  • Salt and pepper - to season
  • 1 tablespoon Oil - for cooking

Vegetables and Wrap

  • 4 large Flour tortillas - room temperature
  • 2 cups Fresh lettuce - chopped or as leaves
  • 1 cup Shredded carrots - freshly grated
  • 1 medium Red bell pepper - thinly sliced
  • 3 stalks Green onions - chopped
  • ¼ cup Fresh cilantro - chopped

Condiments and Garnish

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise - for spreading
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds - for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Glaze with sweet chili sauce: Pour the sweet chili sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat all pieces thoroughly. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize, creating a sticky glaze on the chicken.
  4. Prepare the tortillas: While the chicken cools slightly for easier handling, heat the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and flexible.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly across each warm tortilla. Layer with fresh lettuce, glazed chicken strips, shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro in the center of the tortilla.
  6. Roll and serve: Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken inside or on top if preferred. Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can add a dash of lime juice or sriracha for extra tang or heat.
  • Substitute mayonnaise with yogurt or avocado spread for a lighter option.
  • For gluten-free modification, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • To make it vegetarian, swap chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use a vegetarian-friendly chili sauce.
  • Make sure not to overheat tortillas to avoid tearing during rolling.
