Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken tenders
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 4 chicken tenders, 1 cup sweet chili sauce, 4 large flour tortillas, 1 cup shredded lettuce, 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup ranch dressing.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cook the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can also use an air fryer or deep fryer if you prefer.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sweet chili sauce. If you’re using store-bought sauce, simply pour it into a small saucepan and warm it over low heat. If you’re making it from scratch, combine ingredients like sugar, vinegar, garlic, and chili flakes in a saucepan and simmer until thickened.
- Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Then, drizzle the warm sweet chili sauce over the chicken tenders, ensuring they are well coated.
- Take a large flour tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the center of the tortilla.
- Next, add a few pieces of the sweet chili-coated chicken tenders on top of the lettuce.
- Sprinkle the diced tomatoes and shredded cheese over the chicken tenders to add freshness and flavor.
- Finally, drizzle a tablespoon of ranch dressing over the top of the fillings for an extra layer of creaminess.
- To wrap the tortilla, fold in the sides and then roll it from the bottom up, enclosing all the fillings securely. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Once all the wraps are assembled, you can serve them immediately or place them in a warm oven for a few minutes to heat through. Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating.
- Enjoy your homemade McDonald's Copycat Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps with extra sweet chili sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping!
Tips
- For extra crispy chicken, pat the tenders dry before baking and consider coating them lightly in cornstarch or breadcrumbs.
- If you're short on time, rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken strips can be excellent substitutes for homemade chicken tenders.
- Warm your tortillas slightly before wrapping to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- For a spicier kick, add some sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sweet chili sauce.
- Prep ingredients in advance to make assembly quick and easy during busy weeknights.
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes to enhance the overall flavor and texture of your wrap.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can grill the chicken instead of baking for a healthier alternative.
