Sweet Potato Wraps with Chicken topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons of butter
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 large red jalapeño (half thinly sliced, half minced; remove seeds to reduce heat), optional
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp. curry powder
- 450 g sweet potato, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced 1 cm thick.
- 3 cups shredded grilled chicken (about 12 oz)
- 4 square lavash breads measuring 22 cm.
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Preparation:
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the onion, thinly sliced jalapeño, and thyme and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute.
- Add another 2 tablespoons butter and the curry powder; cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the curry powder is toasted, 30 seconds. Add the sweet potatoes and toss to coat with oil, then add 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat; cover and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the skillet. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into pieces and add to the mixture. Cook until the chicken is heated through and the sweet potato is just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the lavash over high heat for about 30 seconds per side. Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lavash; top with cilantro and chopped jalapeño. Fold in the sides and roll up; cut in half.
