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)
Wraps
- 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: Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sriracha sauce in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Optionally, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing to desired consistency.
- Combine Wrap Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the chopped cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Drizzle the prepared peanut dressing over the mixture and toss everything until evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Warm Tortillas: Place the tortillas in the microwave and heat for about 30 seconds to soften them, making them easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the peanut chicken filling evenly among the warm tortillas. Wrap them tightly and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt content.
- Adjust sriracha amount to your preferred spice level.
- The wrap filling can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated to enhance flavors.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
- Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Always check individual ingredients for potential allergens, especially peanuts and soy.
