How to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

  • 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)
  • 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

Directions

  1. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. If you want a thinner sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot (if using), cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the dressing over this mixture and toss everything to combine evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors can blend.
  3. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them easier to roll.
  4. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas. Wrap them tightly and serve immediately.
