Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.

Thinly slice the cooked chicken and place it in a bowl. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss until evenly coated.

Prep the Wrap Ingredients

While the chicken rests, prep your veggies: shred the carrots and cabbage, chop the romaine, and warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a little mayonnaise if using. Add a portion of teriyaki chicken, carrots, cabbage, and lettuce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
