01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
03 - 1 tbsp soy sauce
04 - 1 tbsp olive oil
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder

# Directions:

01 - Place chicken breasts in a bowl. Season with garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

04 - Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
05 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
06 - Lay a tortilla flat. Layer with shredded lettuce, chicken strips, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and cilantro if desired.
07 - Drizzle with reserved sweet chili sauce. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
08 - Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Slice wraps diagonally and serve with lime wedges.

02 -
  • Dont skip the resting period after cooking the chicken or those juices will end up on your cutting board instead of in your wrap
  • Warm tortillas are the difference between a wrap that holds together and one that splits apart on first bite
