How to Make Rice Paper Burrito
Prep the Chicken (15 minutes) Start by cooking your chicken breast. You can pan-sear it with a couple pinches of salt and pepper until golden brown and fully cooked. Shred it with a fork or chop it up into bite-sized pieces. The aroma of sizzling chicken is amazing, trust me.
Soak Rice Paper Sheets (5 minutes) In a shallow dish, place warm water and soak one rice paper sheet until it’s soft, about 10 seconds! Don’t leave it too long, or it’ll get mushy.
Set Up Your Workstation : Lay the softened rice paper on a clean flat surface, like a cutting board.
Layer the Goodness (5 minutes) In the center of the rice paper, layer the shredded chicken, a drizzle of teriyaki sauce, grated carrot, red cabbage, capsicum, avocado, Kewpie mayonnaise, and sweet chili sauce. I love to make sure to mix up all the textures and colors, it just makes cooking feel so satisfying!
Roll It Up : Now it’s the fun part! Fold the sides over the filling and roll it tightly, like a burrito. Make it snug, but don’t stress too much, these won’t be perfect! You’ll get the hang of it after a few.
Repeat : Do the same with the remaining ingredients. Depending on your appetite, you might get 4-6 rice paper burritos in total.
Serve Up! Serve these fresh with additional dipping sauce if desired. After all that hard work, you deserve it! You’ll want to take a picture because these are too pretty not to share.
Personal Connection
This Rice Paper Burrito is totally my go-to recipe when I want something healthy and full of flavor, while being a breeze to whip up. I’m a real sucker for meals that look beautiful and taste amazing, but don’t require hours in the kitchen. Plus, it’s one of those family favorites where everyone can pick their own fillings: my picky 8-year-old actually asked for seconds! The best part is how versatile they are, you can use whatever you’ve got on hand.

Serving and Storage Tips
What to Serve With This
These burritos are so satisfying on their own, but you can pair them with a lovely side salad or some steamed rice. A light dipping sauce on the side adds that little extra zing too!
Storage
These are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They might get a little soggy, so I recommend eating them sooner rather than later!
Reheating Instructions
It’s actually easy to reheat! Just pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or if you want them crispy, briefly pan-fry them until warmed through.
Freezer Friendly?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing these. The texture changes when thawed. They’re best when fresh!
