2. Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
3. Step-by-step Instructions
Preparing the Chicken and Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. You can adjust the sauce amount to taste—more for a spicier kick or less for milder flavor.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a handful of shredded lettuce or cabbage down the center of the tortilla. Spoon the sweet chili chicken mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and texture.
Rolling the Wraps
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sweet chili chicken wraps immediately, cut in half for presentation. For an extra touch, you can add a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lime. These wraps pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or crunchy chips. To elevate your entertaining, consider complementing these wraps with other recipes like festive charcuterie.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Dinner Wraps
If you have leftovers, wrap the remaining chicken wraps tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness. To reheat, microwave for 30-40 seconds or warm in a skillet until heated through.
5. Serving Suggestions and Variations
These dinner wraps are highly versatile. For a healthier version, swap out the tortillas for large lettuce leaves or whole grain wraps. Add sliced peppers, shredded carrots, or even a splash of hot sauce for extra flavor. Pair your wraps with a refreshing beverage like the festive spiced margarita to enhance your dining experience.
