Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Calories: Approximately 550-600 calories per wrap (including chips and sauces).
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 tsp mixed herbs
4 tbsp olive oil
4 large tortilla wraps
2 cups frozen chips (or homemade)
1/2 cup peri-peri sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 tbsp light mayonnaise (plus extra for drizzling)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, mixed herbs, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the seasoned chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Chips:
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
Air fry the chips for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out each tortilla wrap on a flat surface.
Drizzle a tablespoon of peri-peri sauce down the center of each wrap.
Add a handful of chips on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the chips.
Layer the cooked chicken pieces, lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and onion slices.
Drizzle with light mayonnaise.
Wrap and Cook:
Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it tightly into a burrito shape.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place each wrap seam-side down in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Cut each wrap in half and place on a serving plate.
Drizzle with additional peri-peri sauce and light mayonnaise if desired.
Serve with a side of the air-fried chips.
Tips & Tricks:
Seasoning: If you like more heat, add an extra tsp of Cajun seasoning or a pinch of chili flakes to the chicken.
Wraps: For easier rolling, warm the tortillas slightly in a microwave or dry pan before assembling.
Cheese: For a more melty texture, you can add the cheese to the hot chicken before wrapping, so it melts better.
Air Fryer: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the chips in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20-25 minutes or fry them in oil.
Vegetables: Customize the wraps with your favorite veggies. Avocado, bell peppers, or even pickles work great.
Sauce: Adjust the amount of peri-peri sauce to your spice preference, or swap it with BBQ or garlic sauce for a different flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the chicken and vegetables ahead. Store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and fry the wraps just before serving for the best texture.
Can I use different meat?
Absolutely! You can substitute chicken with turkey, beef strips, or even shrimp. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Wrap any leftover burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan or microwave before eating.
Can I freeze these wraps?
Yes, but it’s best to freeze them before the final frying step. Wrap them tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and then fry to crisp them up before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful and hearty Cajun Chicken Peri-Peri Wraps!
