  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• For the Sweet Chili Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• For the Wraps:

  • 4 large tortillas (whole wheat or your favorite)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: Sliced avocado, sesame seeds, chopped peanuts

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, and ginger. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it’s cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir it occasionally.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).

5. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas according to package instructions or in a dry skillet for a few seconds per side.
6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a layer of shredded lettuce. Top with shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and green onions. Add a generous portion of the sweet chili chicken.
7. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add sliced avocado, sesame seeds, or chopped peanuts for extra flavor and texture.
8. Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up.
