Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For the 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 the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and sriracha until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it becomes pourable.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, and roughly chopped roasted peanuts. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Dress the Filling: Pour the prepared peanut dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Warm Tortillas: Wrap the flour tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until they become soft and pliable for easy rolling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place approximately one-sixth of the dressed filling in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Slice diagonally if desired, then serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by reducing or increasing sriracha according to your preference.
- For a low-carb option, substitute large lettuce leaves for the flour tortillas.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the chicken breast.
- Sprinkle additional roasted peanuts inside each wrap before rolling for extra crunch and texture.
