Ingredients
  

For The Wraps:

  • 4 large sweet potatoes any variety of your choice
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour of your choice adjust quantity based on sweet potato consistency
  • 4 tbsps coconut oil for dough incorporation

For The Filling:

  • 400g chicken fillets
  • 2 tsps chicken spice
  • Coconut oil for frying
  • Créme Fraïche or vegan alternative such as Coconut Collaborative Vegan Double Cream or other
  • small tomatoes sliced
  • fresh coriander leaves
  • mashed avocado
  • 2 red onions sliced and pickled with lime juice or vinigar with salt (prepare at least one hour in advance)

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.

For a complete meal, serve with a fresh seasonal salad of your choice.
