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 peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. For a thinner dressing, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
- In a large bowl, mix together the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss to combine evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften them, making them easier to roll.
- Divide the filling evenly between the tortillas, wrap them tightly, and serve immediately.
How to Serve Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps
These wraps can be enjoyed cold or warm. Serve them with extra sauce on the side for dipping, or pair them with a refreshing salad. You can also add extra toppings like sliced avocado or cucumber for more flavor and texture.
How to Store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within a couple of days, but keep in mind that the tortillas may become a bit soggy after a day. You can also store the filling and tortillas separately for better freshness.
