Delightful Asian chicken salad wrap blends fresh ingredients with zesty flavors. Crisp vegetables and tender chicken create a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) chicken, cooked and shredded
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup (240 ml) cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup (240 ml) carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) almonds, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a spacious mixing container.
- Finely chop cabbage, carrots, green onions, and fresh cilantro, then add to the chicken.
- Create a vibrant dressing by whisking soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced ginger, and crushed garlic until smooth and well-integrated.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, gently tossing to ensure comprehensive coating.
- Warm tortillas slightly to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Position a tortilla on a clean surface, centering a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds across the filling for added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then tuck in the sides and roll tightly to create a compact wrap.
- For optimal presentation, slice each wrap diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients remain fresh and crisp.
- Alternatively, wrap individually in parchment paper for convenient transportation or later consumption.
Notes
- Swap chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version that maintains the protein-packed profile of the original recipe.
- Toast almonds briefly in a dry skillet to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the wrap.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt intake without sacrificing the umami depth of the dressing.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and store separately to keep the wrap components fresh and prevent sogginess.
