Notes
Storage: To store leftover Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the chicken and vegetables separate from the tortillas to prevent sogginess.
Reheating: To reheat, remove the filling from the tortillas and microwave it in short intervals (about 30 seconds) until warmed through. For a crispy tortilla, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side before adding the filling back in.
Serving: Serve Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wraps. Add extra sweet chili sauce for dipping or drizzling, and consider pairing with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight if possible. Experiment with different fresh vegetables, such as bell peppers or avocado, to add variety and texture to your wraps.
