Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Teriyaki: In a bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken and 1 cup of teriyaki sauce. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
Cook the Rice Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli rice noodles and cook according to the package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Soften the Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and place one-sixth of the cooked rice noodles down the center. Top the noodles with a portion of the teriyaki chicken mixture. Add the shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrots, julienned cucumbers, julienned red bell peppers, sliced green onions, and cilantro leaves evenly over the chicken.
Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to enclose all the fillings securely. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve: Serve the wraps immediately while the tortillas are soft, accompanied with extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
You can prepare the chicken teriyaki mixture a day ahead to enhance the flavor.
Adjust the vegetables based on your preference or what you have available.
Microwaving the tortillas just before assembly prevents cracking when rolling.
These wraps can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature, making them great for packed lunches.
