Would this wrap taste good anywhere? Yep. Does it taste its best after a long hike with the scent of pine and sequoias thick on the air. YEP! This recipe takes a bit of work, but you get something that is a far cry from that sad, smooshed PB&J you were gonna pack.
Pack ahead tip: make all the components the night before, just don't dress the slaw. Next morning dress and toss the slaw then assemble. That said, if you don't mind a slightly soggy tortilla, you can assemble the night before. It'll still be ah-maze-ing.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless chicken breast (leftovers from the grill are excellent!)
Salt & peper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 tbsp curry powder
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup plain yogurt
6 10-inch tortillas
Cabbage Slaw
2 cups thinly sliced cabbage (half a red/purple or green cabbage—chef's choice)
1 jalapeño, diced (more if you crave heat)
1/2 cup cilantro leaves loosely packed, minced
red pepper flakes to taste
juice from 1 lemon
Salt to taste
Sprinkle of sugar
Instructions
If using leftover grilled chicken, chop into 1-inch cubes. If starting from scratch, chop raw chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper. Warm skillet over medium heat and add a few tbps olive oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken, cooking until cooked through (about 6-7 minutes). Set aside.
Use same sauté pan (or get a sauté pan, if using leftover chicken), warm a tiny bit more oil (we want a char here). Add diced onions and cook until they start to brown. Add curry powder and raisins. Turn off heat and seat aside.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt and cooked raisin/curry/onion mixture. Once chicken is cooled, add it yogurt mixture. Mix and then refrigerate as you make the slaw.
In another large bowl, mix cabbage, jalapeño, cilantro, red pepper flakes. Right before assembly, add the lemon juice, salt, & sugar. Toss to combine.
Assemble. Warm tortillas if needed (a quick 10-second zap in the microwave will do) and add chicken mixture and slaw. Fold like a burrito. Wrap in foil and take to the wild outdoors or just enjoy while at The Ridge.
