Ingredients
- Tortillas - 4 large
- Chicken breasts - 2, skinless and boneless
- Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
- Mangos - 2, peeled and sliced
- Red cabbage - 1 cup, shredded
- Carrot - 1 large, julienned
- Cucumber - 1, julienned
- Lime - 1, juiced
- Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
- Salt - to taste
- Black pepper - to taste
Preparation
To prepare the Coconut Mango Sizzle Wrap, begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. This allows them to cook quickly and evenly, ensuring a juicy interior and a perfectly seared exterior. Mix the chicken strips with a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Cooking Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken strips and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. The nutty aroma of the coconut oil will complement the chicken perfectly, adding depth to the wrap. Monitor the time using a cooking timer.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the red cabbage and carrot, sautéing for just 2-3 minutes to soften slightly while retaining a slight crunch.
Assembly
Lay the tortillas on a clean work surface. Arrange a layer of sautéed red cabbage and carrot in the center of each tortilla. Follow this with slices of mango and cucumber, which add a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the sautéed vegetables.
Top with the seared chicken strips and drizzle lime juice over the entire wrap. Sprinkle a generous amount of cilantro on top for added freshness and a vibrant, herbaceous touch.
Serving and Enjoyment
Carefully roll each tortilla into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you roll to ensure all the ingredients stay snugly inside. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Serve the Coconut Mango Sizzle Wrap immediately for the best experience.
For an added tropical twist, serve these wraps with a side of coconut and lime-infused rice or a chilled coconut water beverage. The combination of flavors in the wrap is designed to take your taste buds on a mini-vacation, where the succulent sweetness of mango and the rich warmth of coconut pair perfectly with the crisp vegetables and savory chicken.
