Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas
- 100 g Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 20 g Fresh cilantro leaves
- 20 g Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes
- 1 clove Garlic
- 50 g Peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, ensuring even thickness for cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken strips for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them rest.
Meanwhile, finely shred the red cabbage, grate the carrot, and thinly slice the cucumber. Set aside.
To prepare the Nam Jihm dressing, finely mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, fish sauce, granulated sugar, chili flakes, and the minced garlic until the sugar dissolves. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Place a handful of red cabbage, carrot, and cucumber along the center. Add several pieces of the cooked chicken on top.
Drizzle the Nam Jihm dressing generously over the filling, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro, mint leaves, and peanuts if using.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll tightly into a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately with extra Nam Jihm dressing on the side for dipping.
