Sweet mango and cooling yogurt are a good match for chicken with a little spice. Here the strips are tossed in cumin, coriander and paprika, browned quickly in a skillet and rolled up with ripe mango, cucumber and greens. A lime yogurt sauce ties it all together. The wraps are fast enough for a weeknight and bright enough for a warm day. Use a ripe, fragrant mango that yields to gentle pressure.
Instructions
- Toss the chicken strips with the cumin, coriander, paprika and salt.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in one layer for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and 74°C (165°F) inside. Let it cool slightly.
- Stir the yogurt, lime juice, honey, mint and salt together in a bowl.
- Warm the wraps for 10 seconds each in a dry skillet or the microwave.
- Spread each wrap with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce. Layer the chicken, mango, cucumber, salad leaves and onion down the center.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Halve and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
Tips
- If the mango is firm, cut it into thin matchsticks and add an extra squeeze of lime. Peaches and pineapple also work.
- Make a bigger batch of the spiced chicken for the week. It keeps for 3 days in the fridge and tastes good cold.
Questions and answers
Can I use leftover cooked chicken in these wraps?
Yes. Toss about 400 g (14 oz) of cooked, sliced chicken with the spices and warm it for 2 minutes in a skillet with the oil.
Can I make the wraps ahead of time?
Prepare the chicken and sauce ahead, then assemble just before eating. Mango and cucumber release juice, which can soften the wrap if it sits.
What can I use instead of mango?
Pineapple, peaches, nectarines or even apple slices. Add a squeeze of lime to keep the fruit bright.
