Description
This chicken tortilla wrap is a soft, tasty roll filled with well-seasoned shredded chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy sauce, all wrapped in a warm, light flatbread. It’s like shawarma, but lighter and easier to enjoy anytime—perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a quick bite on the go. You can spice it up Naija-style with suya pepper or add a little heat with pepper sauce. Healthy, filling, and delicious!
So while not a traditional Nigerian dish, the Nigerian version of the chicken wrap is a modern fusion, reflecting global influence with local flavor.
Tortilla wraps originated in Mexico, but the "chicken wrap" concept gained global popularity through American-style fast food.
In Nigeria, local chefs and food vendors began adapting the wrap by incorporating Nigerian flavors—like suya-spiced chicken, peppered sauce, or Nigerian-style coleslaw.
This fusion approach became popular in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt around 2010–2015, especially in cafés, lounges, and food trucks.
