The Teriyaki Chicken Wrap is a flavorful, satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this wrap brings together bold teriyaki flavor with fresh, crunchy vegetables and soft, warm tortillas. It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken or make something fresh in under 30 minutes. I can pack it for lunch, serve it for dinner, or slice it into pinwheels for a fun appetizer. It’s also super customizable depending on what I’m in the mood for—hot or cold, spicy or sweet.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Cooked chicken breast or thighs (grilled, baked, or rotisserie)
Teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Flour tortillas or wraps
Shredded lettuce or cabbage
Julienned carrots
Sliced cucumbers
Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Green onions, chopped
Sesame seeds (optional)
Mayonnaise or spicy mayo (optional for spread)
Olive oil (if reheating chicken)

Directions

I start by reheating the cooked chicken in a skillet with a little olive oil, then pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and let it simmer until warm and coated.
While the chicken heats, I prep my veggies—shredding lettuce, slicing bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions.
I warm the tortillas slightly in a dry pan or microwave so they’re easier to fold.
I spread a little mayo or spicy mayo on each tortilla, then layer the teriyaki chicken, fresh veggies, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
I roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap, slice in half, and serve immediately—or wrap it up for later.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2–4 wraps depending on the size of the tortillas and how full I stuff them. It takes about 25 minutes total—10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cook time (or less if using pre-cooked chicken).

Variations

I swap out chicken for shrimp, tofu, or even beef strips depending on what I have on hand.
For extra crunch, I add crispy wonton strips or a handful of slaw mix.
I sometimes use a spinach or whole wheat wrap for a healthier twist.
For extra heat, I drizzle some sriracha or add jalapeño slices.

storage/reheating

If I’m making these ahead, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep them from getting soggy, I layer lettuce between the tortilla and the wetter ingredients. If I want to reheat the wrap, I do it in a skillet or panini press for a warm, slightly crispy version. Cold wraps are also great straight from the fridge.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought teriyaki sauce?

Yes, I often use store-bought for convenience, but I sometimes make my own for more control over sweetness and saltiness.

What’s the best chicken to use?

Grilled chicken breast or thigh works great, but I’ve also used rotisserie chicken or leftovers with success.

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep all the ingredients ahead and assemble just before eating. Or I wrap them tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Is this wrap good for meal prep?

Absolutely. I like to portion out the chicken and veggies separately, then build the wraps fresh when I need them to avoid soggy tortillas.

Can I serve this cold?

Yes, it’s delicious either warm or cold. When I pack it for lunch, I usually eat it chilled and it still tastes great.

Conclusion

The Teriyaki Chicken Wrap is a delicious, easy-to-make meal that’s full of flavor and endlessly customizable. Whether I’m craving something quick, healthy-ish, or totally satisfying, this wrap is always a hit. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and crunchy—all rolled up in one.
