Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 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)
Filling
- 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
Wraps
- 4–6 tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sriracha sauce until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency.
- Combine Wrap Filling: In a large bowl, mix the cooked and chopped chicken with coleslaw mix, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, and roasted salted peanuts. Drizzle the prepared peanut dressing over the mixture and toss everything together thoroughly. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften them, making them easier to roll and preventing cracking.
- Assemble Wraps: Evenly divide the filling mixture among the warmed tortillas. Wrap each tortilla tightly around the filling and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels in the dish.
- Grated carrot is optional but adds extra crunch and sweetness.
- If you prefer a spicier wrap, increase the sriracha sauce to taste.
- To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and tortillas.
- This recipe works well with leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Add more water to the dressing to adjust consistency for easier drizzling.
