Unlock Flavor with Portuguese-Style Chilli Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

Scale

500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced thinly)
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chilli paste (adjust based on spice tolerance)
1 tablespoon olive oil (drizzle)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves freshly minced garlic
1 teaspoon freshly minced ginger
1 teaspoon caster (superfine) sugar
to taste sea salt flakes
to taste freshly cracked black pepper
4 pieces pita bread wraps (or any wraps you prefer)
4 tablespoons whole-egg mayonnaise
200 grams gouda (or any melty cheese)
2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce
optional air-fryer chips (fries)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken with sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) and cook the chicken for 8–10 minutes in a single layer, turning halfway.
Or grill the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side over medium-high heat for a smoky flavor.
In a small bowl, combine chilli paste, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, and caster sugar. Stir until smooth.
Warm the wraps in a dry frying pan or microwave. Spread mayonnaise on each wrap, add gouda, layered chicken, shredded lettuce, chilli sauce, and more mayo. Roll tightly and serve immediately with optional fries.
