Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Vegetables:
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Dressing and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped peanuts (optional)
Wrap:
- 4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant dressing by whisking soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic in a compact mixing vessel until thoroughly integrated.
- In a spacious culinary bowl, amalgamate shredded chicken with crisp cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced green onions, and crunchy nuts, creating a textural foundation.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable medley, gently tossing to ensure each ingredient is luxuriously coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Position a soft tortilla on a clean surface, centered with a generous portion of the chicken mixture, maintaining uniform distribution across the wrap’s midline.
- Execute a precise folding technique: first tucking in the sides, then rolling the tortilla from bottom to top with gentle tension to secure the filling.
- Slice the wrap diagonally for an elegant presentation, revealing the colorful interior, and serve immediately at room temperature or chill for a refreshing meal option.
Notes
- Choose rotisserie chicken for a quick, flavorful protein boost that saves precious prep time.
- Swap traditional tortillas with lettuce wraps for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that keeps the meal light and fresh.
- Toast nuts briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a delightful crunch that elevates the entire dish.
- Make extra dressing and store in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing for easy meal prep and spontaneous wrap creation.
