Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together chili sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Let marinate for 20–30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Prep the Veggies
- Thinly slice lettuce, cabbage, tomato, onions, and cucumbers. Mash or slice the avocado.
Assemble the Wraps
- Warm tortillas. Spread chipotle mayo, ranch, or chili sauce if using. Layer lettuce, cabbage, sliced chicken, vegetables, and avocado.
Roll the Wraps
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
Toast (Optional but Recommended)
- Place each wrap seam-side down on a heated pan for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly crisped.
Serve
- Slice in half and enjoy warm.
Notes
- For extra heat: add jalapeños or drizzle sriracha inside.
- For a creamy version: mix Greek yogurt with chili sauce and use as the dressing.
- Rotisserie chicken can be used for a shortcut—toss in chili sauce before assembling.
- Use low-carb tortillas or lettuce cups for a lighter option.
