Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless grilled chicken breasts
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- 4 flour tortillas (soft and pliable)
- 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Spicy Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little lime juice. Grill or pan-sear each breast over medium heat until cooked through and golden brown on the outside, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Let rest before slicing thinly.
- Make the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with your favorite hot sauce—start with a tablespoon and adjust according to your spice preference. Mix until smooth and creamy. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- Prep the other fillings: Peel and slice the mango into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice red onion and wash fresh lettuce leaves, ensuring everything is crisp and ready to assemble.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of spicy mayo, then add slices of grilled chicken, mango, lettuce, and red onion. Squeeze a little fresh lime juice over the top and gently roll up the wrap tightly to secure all fillings.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut wraps in half diagonally for easy eating. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment for later meals, keeping them refrigerated if not eaten right away.
Notes
- Grill chicken evenly by pounding to an even thickness before cooking for uniform doneness and quicker grilling.
- Choose ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the perfect balance of sweetness and juiciness.
- Control spice level by starting with less hot sauce in the mayo, then adding gradually to avoid overpowering fresh flavors.
- Keep ingredients cold, including lettuce, mango, and mayo, to maintain crispness and freshness.
- Wrap tightly to prevent spills and make the wraps easier to handle.
