1/3 cup sweet chili sauce (natural)

1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts into strips. In a bowl, combine the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), and lime juice (natural). Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they are golden and cooked through. Remove from heat, then toss the cooked chicken with sweet chili sauce (natural) until evenly coated.
Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, wash and prepare the vegetables. Shred the carrots, thinly slice the red bell pepper and cucumber, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside.
Assemble the Wraps: Warm the whole wheat tortillas to increase pliability. Lay each tortilla flat, start with a base layer of mixed salad greens. Add the sweet chili coated chicken strips, then pile on the prepared vegetables. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice (natural) for added freshness.
Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from one end to the other. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Slice diagonally to showcase the colorful filling and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor.
Use fresh vegetables to keep wrap crisp and refreshing.
Avoid overfilling wraps for easier handling and eating.
Warm tortillas to prevent cracking and facilitate folding.
Adjust sweet chili sauce quantity to your preferred sweetness and spice level.
