Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts (about 6–8 oz each), grilled or pan-seared
Produce
- 1 ripe fresh mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup crisp lettuce, shredded
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
Condiments & Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons chili sauce (such as Sriracha), adjust to taste
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a splash of lime juice. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly for easy wrapping.
- Make the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with chili sauce (such as Sriracha) until smooth and well blended. Adjust the heat level according to your preference.
- Prepare the mango and vegetables: Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and shred the lettuce. Toss the mango lightly with lime juice to keep it fresh and add zest.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out each tortilla and spread a generous layer of the spicy mayo. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, sliced chicken breast, diced mango, and red onion. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to form a neat wrap.
- Serve and enjoy: Optionally cut the wraps in half for easier eating. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices for 30 minutes prior to cooking for extra flavor.
- Use ripe Ataulfo or Haden mangoes for optimal sweetness and texture.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Start with a small amount of chili sauce in the mayo and increase to control the spice level.
- Pat chicken and mango dry before assembling to keep the wraps from getting soggy.
