Doesn’t it confuse you when something that tastes delicious is actually healthy too? Take this wrap for example. If my stomach had the capacity I would have eight of these in one sitting, Homer Simpson-style. Instead I have to settle for two a day, for breakfast and lunch.
What I tend to do is make a batch of the chicken and keep it in a bowl in the fridge and use as necessary. Zero fuss – it takes less than five minutes to put together. Zero mess – I use one plate and one knife in the process. For once you can simplify life a bit!

Asian BBQ Chicken Tortilla Wraps
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 60ml (¼ cup / 2fl oz) hoisin sauce
- 15ml (1 tbsp) light soy sauce
- 15ml (1 tbsp) honey
- 5ml (1 tsp) sesame oil
- 30ml (2 tbsp) tomato sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced in strips
- 15ml (1 tbsp) oil
- 4 tortilla wraps
- salad leaves
- cucumber, julienned
Instructions
- To make the marinade, combine the garlic, hoisin sauce, soy, honey, sesame oil and tomato sauce in a small bowl.
- Pour over the chicken breasts, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the chicken and marinade to the pan and stir fry. Let it sizzle and bubble away until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Warm the tortilla. Place the lettuce and cucumber over the middle of the tortilla and place the chicken pieces on top. Fold to make a wrap, slice the wrap in half and serve straight away. Repeat the process to make the other wraps.
Notes
- The recipe above is quite saucy. You can double up on the chicken if you like using the same amount of sauce.
-
Marinate 1kg (2lb) chicken wings in the marinade and grill/barbecue for 20-25 minutes or until cooked. You can also bake them at 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas 4 for 30 minutes.
