Peanut Sauce
- 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
- Prepare the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sriracha sauce until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
- Combine the filling ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the mixture and toss everything gently to ensure the ingredients are fully coated. Allow the filling to rest for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Warm the tortillas: Place the tortillas in the microwave and heat for about 30 seconds until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to wrap.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the peanut chicken filling evenly across each warmed tortilla. Wrap them tightly by folding the sides over and rolling from the bottom up. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with honey for a natural sweetener option.
- For added crunch, use fresh shredded cabbage in the coleslaw mix.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to control the heat level according to taste.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Grilled or rotisserie chicken can be a convenient shortcut for cooked chicken.
- Store any leftover filling separately from the tortillas to avoid sogginess.
