Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
Fresh Vegetables and Herbs:
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 green onions, sliced
Garnish and Wrapping:
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds or peanuts (optional)
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
Instructions
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks, ensuring uniform texture.
- Chop cabbage and carrots into thin, consistent strips for optimal crunch and even distribution.
- Mince fresh cilantro and green onions to release their aromatic flavors into the salad mixture.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced ginger, and crushed garlic in a separate bowl to create a harmonious dressing.
- Gently fold the dressing into the chicken and vegetable mixture, ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly coated.
- Warm the tortilla for 10-15 seconds to increase flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Place the dressed salad mixture in the center of the tortilla, leaving space around the edges for easier rolling.
- Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds or chopped peanuts over the filling for added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then tightly roll from one side to create a compact wrap.
- Cut the wrap diagonally at the center and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
Notes
- Opt for rotisserie chicken to save time and add instant flavor depth without extra cooking steps.
- Slice vegetables ultra-thin for better texture and easier wrap rolling, creating a more cohesive bite.
- Swap traditional tortillas with lettuce wraps for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that adds crisp freshness.
- Make dressing ahead and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing flavors to meld and intensify.
