Toasted Chicken and Sweet Chili Tortilla

A simple toasted tortilla recipe and a great way to use up leftover chicken.

Regular visitors to this site, there are a few – thanks Mum, know by now that I hate food waste and one of the reasons I love toasties so much is that they are a great use of leftovers and that is exactly what this recipe does.

It turns, boring, leftover chicken into a super tasty lunch.

Now, I’ve done this recipe before as a regular toasted sandwich so won’t go into the detail too much here as this is basically the same winning combination but contained in a tasty toasted tortilla wrap.

Ingredients

You need the following ingredients to make this toasted tortilla wrap:

• Leftover chicken
• 30 grams of finely grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tsp of sweet chili sauce
• 1 large flour tortilla

Leftover chicken

Roast chicken is delicious, but when you are left with those cold and slightly tasteless pieces in the fridge the next day it can be difficult to be inspired to create anything. But, with a few simple ingredients you can transform that dull leftover chicken into a fun and tasty lunch.

Afterall chicken takes on flavors really well and it goes great in wraps.

Cheddar Cheese

This adds a lovely sharpness to the dish while providing that melty cheese fun that really helps to keep the winter cold out.

For this recipe I find it is best to finely grate the cheese so it really coats the chicken well.

Sweet Chili Sauce

This is the game changer in this recipe as it adds a lovely kick of heat and sweet (one of my new favorite sayings).

Large flour tortilla

By wrapping all these tasty ingredients in a tortilla rather than regular bread you are cutting the cooking time in half and eat it in one hand.
