Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps Recipe

I have to tell you — the first time I made these Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps, I was blown away by how simple and flavorful they turned out! I still remember pulling the warm tortillas off the counter and piling in that sweet, tangy chicken with crisp veggies. Every bite felt like a restaurant wrap, but without the fuss.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts – boneless and skinless pieces cook evenly and shred easily for wraps.
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce – delivers the signature sweet and slightly spicy flavor.
  • ¼ cup soy sauce – adds savory depth and balances sweetness.
  • Juice of 1 lime – fresh lime brightens and enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 head green lettuce – crisp lettuce provides refreshing crunch.
  • 1 medium daikon radish shredded – adds light peppery crunch and texture.
  • 1 cup cucumber sliced – cool and refreshing contrast to warm chicken.
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced – sharp flavor that lifts the wrap’s taste.
  • Sweet peppers thinly sliced – add sweetness and colorful presentation.
  • Fresh cilantro – gives a fresh herbal finish.
  • 6 large tortillas or wraps – soft wraps hold fillings securely.

Method
 

  1. Cook seasoned chicken in a pan until fully done and lightly golden on the outside. Juicy chicken absorbs sauce better, so avoid overcooking. Let it rest briefly before shredding or slicing.
  2. Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice while the chicken is warm. Stir until each piece is coated in glossy sauce. Let it simmer briefly so flavors soak in.
  3. Slice lettuce, cucumber, peppers, radish, and onions thinly. Thin slices ensure every bite includes balanced texture. Keep veggies chilled so they stay crisp.
  4. Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave briefly. Warm wraps become flexible and easier to roll. This also improves texture when eating.
  5. Lay tortillas flat and start with lettuce, followed by chicken and vegetables. Keep fillings centered so rolling stays neat. Add cilantro last for fresh aroma.
  6. Fold sides inward, then roll tightly from one end. Slice diagonally for presentation if desired. Serve immediately while fillings are fresh and vibrant.

Notes

  •  I always warm tortillas to avoid tearing while rolling.
  •  I add an extra squeeze of lime before serving for brightness.
  •  I shred chicken while warm so it absorbs sauce better.
  •  I add crunchy vegetables at the last moment to keep texture fresh.
  •  I avoid overfilling wraps to keep them neat and easy to eat.
