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:

Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. If you want a thinner sauce, you can add water.
In a large bowl, mix together the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the peanut dressing over this mixture and toss them together until everything is evenly coated.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to absorb all the flavors.
Heat tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften them and make 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 are best served fresh, as soon as they are made. You can serve them with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping. A side of fresh fruit or a light salad also pairs well. They are perfect for lunch boxes or a quick dinner, and they impress with their vibrant colors and bold flavors.

How to Store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, store the filling and tortillas separately in the fridge. The filling can last for about 3 days when kept in an airtight container. Tortillas should be wrapped tightly to prevent them from drying out. When ready to serve again, reheat the filling if desired, and warm the tortillas before assembling the wraps again.
