Thai Chicken Crunch Wraps

Ingredients:

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 english cucumber, halved and cut into thin ribbons
  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 burrito-sized tortillas (white, wheat, spinach, or whatever you prefer)
  • 4 leaves romaine or green lettuce
  • 1-2 cups cooked, sliced chicken or turkey
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced or julienned carrots (1-2 large carrots)
  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
Directions
  1. In a pie plate or other shallow dish, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and salt. Add the cucumbers, tossing to cover with the liquid. Let them stand for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients (they can be made several days in advance and covered in the refrigerator).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, salt, and chili sauce. Spread a couple tablespoons evenly on the tortillas. Top with lettuce, chicken, cucumbers (lightly patting dry, if needed), carrots and cilantro (just eyeball the amounts for each tortilla depending on how many wraps you are making). Roll the tortilla up tightly like a burrito so the ends are enclosed. Serve immediately.
