Why Make a Jerk Chicken Wrap

Easy recipe: this simple recipe requires less than 5 minutes of prep. Plus, it includes a jerk chicken dry rub that adds authentic jerk flavor without needing to marinate the chicken.
Great for meal prep: the meat for this recipe tastes great as a wrap, but could also be used as part of a chicken bowl, salad, or even paired with a vegetable.
Perfect for lunch or dinner especially if you’re busy and want to have fresh food while on-the-go.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s what you need to know about the ingredients in this recipe to make the dish successfully. You can go to the recipe card at the bottom to get the exact amounts:

Chicken Thighs: I’m using raw boneless and skinless chicken that I cut into bite-sized pieces
Spicy Jerk Seasoning: as I mentioned in Jerk Chicken Thighs and Air Fryer Jerk Chicken Wings, this is my favorite jerk seasoning. No need to marinate the meat and perfect as a dry rub on a variety of proteins.
Smoked Paprika: this adds a bit more smokey flavor
Bell peppers: I sliced these into strips
Red Onions: I sliced these into strips
Avocado Oil: this is my favorite neutral tasting oil. You can also substitute olive oil or another oil blend, depending on what you have on hand
Flour Tortillas: I get the burrito size wraps.

Sweet & Spicy Sauce

Honey: any honey that you have on hand will work
Sriracha Sauce: this is a prepared sauce that includes garlic and other spices.
Lime Juice: I’m using bottled lime juice.

Wrap Toppings

Creamy Coleslaw: I get this from the deli section at the grocery store when I don’t want to make coleslaw from scratch. It adds a bit of creaminess and a crunchy fresh texture.
