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 measuring cup, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. If you like, add water to thin the sauce.
In a large bowl, mix the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the peanut sauce over this mixture and toss everything together until well combined. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them softer and easier to roll.
Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, wrap them tightly, and serve right away.

How to Serve Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

These wraps are best served warm and fresh. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with a side salad or some fresh fruit. They also make a great meal prep option and can be packed for lunch!

How to Store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to keep the wraps wrapped properly to maintain their freshness. When you’re ready to eat, you can reheat them in the microwave for best results.

Tips to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha sauce based on your taste.
Feel free to add other ingredients like avocado, bell peppers, or cucumber to enhance the flavor and crunch.
If you’re not a fan of chicken, try using tofu, shrimp, or any other protein you like.

Variation

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with chickpeas or grilled vegetables. You can also swap the tortillas for lettuce leaves for a low-carb wrap option.
