What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

For maximum flavor and structural integrity, I recommend using flour tortillas, either burrito-sized or soft taco wraps. Whole wheat versions add a slightly nutty taste, while spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps add color and an extra layer of flavor. Want to cut carbs? Opt for lettuce leaves like romaine or butter lettuce.

How To Make the Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.

Step 2: Warm the Chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, add the cooked chicken and pour the sauce over it. Toss to coat and warm through for about 3-5 minutes until the chicken is sticky and flavorful.

Step 3: Prepare the Fillings

While the chicken warms, get your fillings ready. Shred the lettuce, slice the red bell pepper, carrots, avocado, and green onions. Mix the sriracha and mayo together if you’re making it from scratch.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas or lettuce leaves. Spread a spoonful of sriracha mayo on each one. Top with the sweet chili chicken, followed by lettuce, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, avocado, and cilantro.

Step 5: Wrap It Up

Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito. If using lettuce, fold the sides in and roll carefully. Slice in half and serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.

How to Serve and Store These Wraps

These wraps are best served warm right after assembly for optimal texture, but they also make a fantastic make-ahead meal. If prepping in advance, store the chicken and vegetables separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble just before eating to keep the wrap from getting soggy.

They also pack well for lunches. Just be sure to use a hearty wrap that won’t tear and keep sauces in a separate container if you’re worried about moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for this recipe. Just shred it and toss it with the sauce.

Is this recipe spicy?

Not overly. The sweet chili sauce brings more sweetness than heat. If you want extra spice, add a few drops of sriracha or red pepper flakes.

What vegetables work well in this wrap?

Anything with crunch! Try cabbage, cucumber, bean sprouts, or even pickled onions for zing.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Yes! Swap the chicken for crispy tofu, tempeh, or even chickpeas tossed in the same sauce.

What’s the best way to reheat them?

If already assembled, microwave for 30 seconds or warm on a skillet. If unassembled, reheat the chicken and build fresh.

Can I freeze them?

Freezing isn’t ideal because the fresh veggies can become mushy when thawed. It’s better to freeze just the chicken mixture and assemble fresh.
