01 - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
03 - 1 tbsp soy sauce
04 - 1 tbsp olive oil
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder

# Steps:

01 - Place chicken breasts in a mixing bowl. Evenly coat with garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper, tossing thoroughly to distribute spices.

04 - Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Slice into thin strips across the grain.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave until pliable and warm.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle generously with reserved sweet chili sauce.
07 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve with lime wedges.
