Instructions

Make the Sauces

  • In a bowl, add all of the chilli oil ingredients and whisk well to combine. Store in a jar and refrigerate until ready to serve. This recipe makes more than what you’ll need.
  • In a separate bowl, add all of the creamy chilli mayo ingredients and whisk well to combine. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Marinate the Chicken

  • Combine tenderloins with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, oregano, chilli flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate 20–30 minutes.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook tenderloins in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Glaze lightly with your chilli sauce in the final 30 seconds. Rest briefly.

Assemble the Wraps

  • Warm each flatbread. Spread creamy chilli mayo down the centre, add shredded lettuce, 3–4 tenderloins per wrap and a drizzle of extra chilli oil. Wrap tightly and serve.
