Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• ½ cup sweet chili sauce
• 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
• 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
• ½ cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
• ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
• ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

How To Make Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

If you’re not working with leftovers (lucky you if you are!), cook your chicken by baking, grilling, or even boiling it. Let it cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Toss Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce

Place your chicken in a bowl, add the sweet chili sauce, and stir until every piece is generously coated. This is where the magic happens—the sauce turns your plain chicken into a flavor-packed star.

Step 3: Prep the Veggies

Wash, slice, and shred your greens, carrots, cucumbers, and onion. If you’re adding avocado, slice it last to keep it from browning.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a little mayo or Greek yogurt in the center if you want extra creaminess. Layer on lettuce, sweet chili chicken, carrots, cucumber, onion, avocado (if using), shredded cheese, and cilantro. A squeeze of lime juice over the top takes it to the next level. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 5: Roll & Serve

Fold in the sides, roll from the bottom up, and tuck everything neatly inside. Slice in half for a picture-perfect presentation (or just take a big bite—your call). Serve right away or wrap tightly for later.

Cooking Tips for Success

• Shortcut alert: Rotisserie chicken is your best friend here. It shaves off cooking time and makes these wraps weeknight gold.
• Warm tortillas = no cracks. Pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds, or heat in a dry skillet for extra flexibility.
• Balance is key. If your chili sauce is very sweet, a little extra lime juice keeps flavors fresh and bright.
• Family hack: Let everyone build their own wrap at the table—less pressure on you, more fun for them.
