- 1 cup shredded carrots (about 100 grams)

- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (about 25 grams)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (about 8 grams)
Wrap Base:

Instructions
- Craft a vibrant dressing by whisking soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic in a compact mixing vessel until smooth and well-integrated.
- Assemble a colorful medley of shredded chicken, crisp cabbage, julienned carrots, diced cucumbers, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro in a spacious bowl.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated and infused with tangy, sweet flavors.
- Lay out soft tortillas and generously spoon the dressed chicken salad mixture across the center of each wrap.
- Carefully roll the tortillas, tucking in the sides to create tight, compact parcels that seal in the vibrant filling.
- For an elegant presentation, slice the wraps diagonally and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, creating a delightful textural contrast and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest, most crisp wrap experience, with the flavors at their peak of brightness and complexity.
Notes
- Customize dressing intensity by adjusting vinegar and honey ratios for balanced sweet-tangy flavor profile.
- Swap chicken with tofu or tempeh for vegetarian version, ensuring protein-rich alternative maintains recipe’s nutritional balance.
- Experiment with tortilla varieties like whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free options to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Prepare extra dressing separately and store in refrigerator for quick meal prep or as versatile sauce for other salads and dishes.
