Chilli Chicken Wrap

A wrap is a variant of a taco or burrito which includes traditional sandwich fillings wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, pita, lavash or other soft flatbread. It is not served on a deli, hoagie, or submarine type roll. The most popular wraps contain chicken, but beef and shrimp are also served. Typical toppings include shredded lettuce, diced tomato or pico de gallo, guacamole,[citation needed] sauteed mushrooms, bacon, grilled onions, cheese such as Cheddar, and some condiment, such as ranch or honey mustard dressing.

  14. 2 little gem lettuces shredded

  3. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes to warm.
  4. Heat a large frying pan or griddle and add 1 tbsp of oil, fry the pepper and onion for 5 minutes until softened and slightly brown, remove and place on a plate.
  5. In a bowl mix the chicken strips, chilli, chilli powder and remaining oil. Reheat the griddle and fry chicken for about 5 - 6 minutes until brown and cooked through, return peppers and onions to the pan and fry a further 2 minutes.
  6. To make the wrap, place the tortilla on a plate, spread with guacamole dip, top with shredded lettuce followed by the chilli chicken. Fold the base of the wrap over one third of the chicken and fold in the sides, top with yogurt, if desired.
