Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Vegetables:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or purple)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Extras and Wrapping:
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
- 4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Finely chop cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro, then add to the chicken along with sliced almonds.
- Create a vibrant dressing by whisking soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, crushed garlic, and chili flakes until thoroughly combined.
- Drizzle the aromatic dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated.
- Position a soft tortilla on a clean surface and spoon approximately a quarter of the prepared filling into the center.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to create a compact wrap.
- Repeat the wrapping process with remaining tortillas and filling, ensuring each wrap is securely sealed.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or wrap individually in foil for convenient transportation and later consumption.
Notes
- Swap tortillas with lettuce wraps for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that adds extra crunch and freshness.
- Toast almonds briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a more robust texture to the salad.
- Marinate chicken in dressing for 15-30 minutes before mixing to intensify the Asian-inspired flavor profile and tenderize the meat.
- Prepare extra dressing on the side for those who enjoy a more robust taste or want to add moisture to their wrap.
