Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    Cook and rest the chicken

    Prepare the Chicken Breasts exactly as directed on the package. Rest for 2 minutes, then slice into strips or bite-size pieces that will stay inside the wrap.

  2. 02

    Warm the wraps

    Warm small flour or corn tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil until flexible. Keep covered with a clean towel so they remain soft while you assemble.

  3. 03

    Prepare the crunch

    Wash, dry and cut cabbage slaw, tomato, avocado and red onion. Pat watery vegetables dry so the finished wraps do not become soggy.

  4. 04

    Start with sauce

    Spread a thin, even layer of lime crema and salsa down the centre of each wrap, leaving a clean border at the edges for folding.

  5. 05

    Layer for clean bites

    Add the fresh ingredients, warm chicken and cilantro and lime wedges in narrow rows. Avoid overfilling; two smaller wraps hold together better than one overloaded wrap.

  6. 06

    Roll, slice and serve

    Fold in the sides, roll tightly away from you and rest seam-side down for one minute. Slice on an angle and serve with lime and extra sauce.

Notes that make it work

Follow the package

Preparation directions vary by product and appliance. Use the current package as the authority for cooking temperature and time.

Protect the texture

Rest the cooked chicken briefly and add wet sauces as late as possible so crisp coatings and grilled surfaces keep their character.

Make components ahead

Wash and cut the produce, mix the sauce and prepare the base in advance. Cook the chicken closest to serving time.

Store responsibly

Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate in sealed containers and follow current food-safety guidance when reheating and serving.
