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:

In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. You can add water if you want a thinner sauce.
In a large bowl, mix the chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the peanut sauce over this mixture and toss everything together to combine well. Let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors blend.
Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This makes them soft and easy to roll.
Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly between the tortillas. Wrap them tightly and serve immediately.

How to Serve Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Serve these wraps while they are warm. You can enjoy them as is or pair them with some extra peanut sauce for dipping. These wraps also go well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.

How to Store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, store the filling and tortillas separately. Keep the filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The tortillas can be stored in a resealable bag. When ready to eat, you can reheat the filling and assemble the wraps fresh.

Tips to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add more sriracha sauce according to your taste.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber for extra crunch.

Variation

You can make a vegetarian version by replacing chicken with tofu or chickpeas. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and tortillas.
