Rotisserie Chicken Banh Mi Wrap
with pickled carrots and daikon / smoothie
Use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut for these wraps that are inspired by Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. The traditional pickles and the not-so-traditional Sriracha mayo give the wraps plenty of flavor and texture.
Smarts: Daikon radish and carrots are typically used to make Vietnamese pickles, but if you can't find the unique white radish, cucumbers work just as well. The longer the pickles marinate, the more tender and tart they'll be, so plan ahead if you'd like them to have the most pickle flavor.

Press them gently into a jar or small bowl. Combine water (portion for pickles), sugar, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until sugar and salt dissolve. Stir vinegar into sugar-salt mixture. Pour liquids over vegetables. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

- Sriracha mayo - Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice (portion for Sriracha mayo), and Sriracha. Taste and add more Sriracha if you’d like it spicier. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

I love a speedy recipe like this one (having made the pickles the day before). I was still hungry a few hours after this meal though, so I might add another side component next time.
0 HelpfulI made this with a mix of Paleo (pickles) and GF (used corn tortillas). WOW. So good. It was pretty easy too. I will definitely make this again!
0 HelpfulSO good, and so fast! And for the kids I just throw the rotisserie chicken on pasta or rice, and we can enjoy our Sriracha covered wraps ;)
0 HelpfulEasy to put together and tasty. I didn't make the smoothie though because I couldn't find mango.
