Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Dressing
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1–2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (to taste)
- Water, as needed to thin
Wraps
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 cup grated carrots
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 6 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and sriracha sauce until the mixture is smooth. If the dressing is too thick, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken breast, coleslaw mix, grated carrots, chopped fresh cilantro, and roughly chopped roasted peanuts. Toss gently to evenly combine the ingredients.
- Dress the Filling: Pour the prepared peanut dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything until the filling is thoroughly coated with the dressing. Allow the mixture to sit for 3 to 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Warm Tortillas: Wrap the large flour tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until they become warm and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place approximately one-sixth of the dressed filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides inward and roll up tightly from the bottom to form the wrap. Optionally, slice diagonally before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful wraps.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by reducing or increasing the amount of sriracha sauce according to your taste preference.
- Make the recipe low-carb by using large lettuce leaves in place of flour tortillas.
- Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken as a convenient shortcut for the chicken component.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle additional roasted peanuts on the filling before rolling the wraps.
