Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Coating
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Fresh Vegetables
- 1 cup fresh lettuce, washed and sliced
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Wrap and Cheese
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick and even cooking. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika (natural), garlic powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and a pinch of salt. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and natural gelling agent. Dredge the marinated chicken strips in this mixture until each piece is evenly coated, which will help achieve a crispy texture when cooked.
- Cook Until Golden: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Fresh Veggies: While the chicken cooks, wash and slice the lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. Arrange them for easy assembly.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat. Start with a layer of fresh lettuce, followed by tomato slices and red onion. Add the crispy chicken strips on top and sprinkle plant-based cheese. Drizzle with a sauce made by mixing apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent to thicken. Roll the wrap tightly, folding in the ends to seal all ingredients inside.
Notes
- Use thin cuts of chicken to ensure fast cooking and better crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain consistent oil temperature and even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken well to intensify flavors.
- Fresh crunchy vegetables perfectly balance the richness of the fried chicken.
- Roll the wrap tightly to keep the filling secure and prevent mess.
