Featuring crowd-pleasing Hiland Sassy Salsa Dip, this wrap transforms standard-issue chicken and cabbage into a vibrant, crunchy, and super easy weekday meal. The Sassy Salsa Dip works double duty here, acting as both a zesty spread for the tortilla and the creamy, flavorful base for our slaw.

Ingredients
Oven-Roasted Chicken
- 3/4-1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Chicken Wraps
- 1 1/2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups red cabbage, shredded
- 3-5 tablespoons Hiland Sassy Salsa Dip (plus extra for spreading)
- 2 extra-large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 large ripe avocado, cut into thick wedges
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Directions
- Make the chicken. Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat thighs dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, and spices. Roast on a sheet pan for 18–22 minutes, or until they reach at least 175°F. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the slaw. In a large bowl, toss the red and green cabbage with the Hiland Sassy Salsa Dip. Mix until the cabbage is evenly coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Prep the tortillas. Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds. This makes the tortillas pliable and stretchy so you can easily fold your wraps.
- Assemble your wraps. Spread a thin layer of Hiland Sassy Salsa Dip across the center of the warm tortilla. Top with a generous amount of cabbage slaw. Layer the chicken and avocado wedges on top of the slaw. Sprinkle with plenty of shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
- Optional: Place your finished wrap seam-side down in a hot, dry cast iron skillet for 1 minute until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. This seals the wrap and adds a nice crunch.
