Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store bought)
Noodles
- 4 oz vermicelli rice noodles
Vegetables and Wraps
- 6 12-inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup julienned cucumbers
- 1/2 cup julienned red bell peppers
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 1/3 cup cilantro leaves
For Serving
- Extra teriyaki sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the teriyaki sauce and stir well to coat all the chicken pieces evenly. Set this mixture aside to marinate and let the flavors meld.
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until soft but still slightly firm. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
- Warm Tortillas: Place the 12-inch flour tortillas in the microwave and heat them for about 30 seconds. This softens the tortillas, making them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place approximately one-sixth of the cooked noodles in a line down the center of the tortilla. Add a generous portion of the teriyaki chicken on top, then layer with shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrots, julienned cucumbers, julienned red bell peppers, sliced green onions, and cilantro leaves.
- Roll Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to encase the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Serve: Serve the teriyaki wraps immediately with extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping, or wrap in foil for a portable meal option.
