How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to whip up your teriyaki chicken wraps.

Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice and Toss with Sauce

Thinly slice the cooked chicken and place it in a bowl. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss until evenly coated.

Prep the Wrap Ingredients

While the chicken rests, prep your veggies: shred the carrots and cabbage, chop the romaine, and warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a little mayonnaise if using. Add a portion of teriyaki chicken, carrots, cabbage, and lettuce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.

Serve and Slice

Slice in half for easier serving and enjoy immediately!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, wraps do not freeze well.
Reheat: Microwave on medium for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
