Thai Chicken Crunch Wraps
Description
This recipe starts by quick-pickling thin cucumber ribbons in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt, providing bright acidity and crisp texture. While the cucumbers marinate, mayonnaise is combined with sweet Thai chili sauce to make a smooth, mildly spicy spread that flavors the wraps.
On burrito-sized tortillas, this chili mayo is evenly spread before layering with crisp romaine lettuce, cooked, chopped chicken, pickled cucumbers, julienned carrot, and fresh cilantro leaves. The wraps are rolled tightly to seal the filling, making them convenient to eat without spilling.
The wraps can be assembled quickly with prepped ingredients and are suitable for entertaining or weekday meals. The pickles can be made days ahead, allowing the rest of the filling to be prepared in advance. The combination of tangy pickles, creamy sauce, fresh vegetables, and chicken creates a balanced flavor and satisfying crunch.
Serving immediately preserves the crisp textures and freshness of ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 English cucumber halved and cut into thin ribbons
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise light
- 2 tablespoons thai chili sauce sweet
- 2-3 tortillas white, wheat, spinach, or whatever you prefer, burrito-sized
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce or green lettuce
- 1-2 cups chicken cooked, chopped
- ¾ cup carrot 1-2 large carrots, thinly sliced or julienned
- ½ cup cilantro leaves packed
Instructions
- In a pie plate or other shallow dish, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and salt. Add the cucumbers, tossing to cover with the liquid. Let stand for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients (they can be made several days in advance and covered in the refrigerator).
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo and chili sauce. Spread a couple tablespoons evenly on the tortillas. Top with lettuce, chicken, cucumbers (lightly patting dry, if needed), carrots and cilantro (just eyeball the amounts for each tortilla depending on how many wraps you are making). Roll the tortilla up tightly like a burrito so the ends are enclosed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Quick pickled cucumbers can be prepared several days ahead and refrigerated to develop flavor.
- Other ingredients can also be prepped in advance to assemble the wraps quickly.
