Instructions
Prepare the Sweet Potato Dough:
- Cook the sweet potatoes whole, with skins on, until soft.
- Once cooked, remove the skins and measure out 2 cups of sweet potato flesh. Using warm sweet potatoes ensures the dough is easier to work with and prevents it from drying out.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh with the flour, gradually kneading until a smooth and soft dough forms. If needed, lightly dust your hands with extra flour to prevent sticking.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions, shape into balls, and roll out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of approximately ½ cm.
Cook the Wraps:
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of coconut oil.
- Cook each wrap until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then flip to cook evenly until golden.
- Stack the cooked wraps on a plate and cover with a clean dish towel to retain warmth and softness.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Heat a pan with coconut oil and cook the chicken fillets until golden and fully cooked through.
- Season with chicken spice, then slice or shred the fillets for easy assembly.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Spread each wrap with a layer of crème fraîche or alternative for vegan
- Add sliced chicken, fresh tomatoes, coriander, smashed avocado, and pickled onions.
- Fold or roll the wraps and serve immediately.
