Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- 1–2 Tbsp water (optional, to thin sauce)
Wrap Filling
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup grated carrot (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts
- 4–6 tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sriracha sauce. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin it to desired consistency.
- Combine Wrap Filling: In a large bowl, mix the cooked and chopped chicken breasts with coleslaw mix, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and roasted salted peanuts. Drizzle the prepared peanut dressing over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften them, making them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Assemble Wraps: Evenly divide the chicken and vegetable filling among the warmed tortillas. Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling to form wraps. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free tortillas.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level of the dressing.
- Wraps can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but are best served fresh to maintain tortilla softness.
- Add fresh lime juice or chopped green onions for extra brightness and flavor.
