Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut aminos*
- Juice of 1 large lime (2–3 tablespoons lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
- 1½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced (may substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (may substitute ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Warm water, if needed
Wraps
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 2 oz thin rice noodles, cooked
- ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 wraps of choice (such as 8-inch tortillas, spinach wraps, egg wraps, or lettuce leaves)
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl or 2-cup glass measure, combine all of the peanut sauce ingredients. If the sauce is too thick to pour, stir in some warm water, one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Reserve Sauce for Dipping: Set aside ¼ cup of the peanut sauce for dipping later.
- Prepare Noodles: Cut the cooked rice noodles into about 3-inch pieces using kitchen shears or a knife for easy wrapping and eating.
- Mix Wrap Filling: In a separate large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, cut rice noodles, chopped roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro.
- Add Dressing: Pour the remaining peanut sauce (approximately ¾ cup) over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble Wraps: Divide the filling mixture evenly among the 6 wraps of your choice. Roll them up tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half for easier handling and serve with the reserved peanut sauce for dipping.
- Storage: Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also individually wrap or pack pre-made wraps in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For gluten-free option, serve in a gluten-free wrap or as a salad without a wrap.
