Ingredients
For the chicken wraps:
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ⅓ cup roasted peanuts
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (chopped or sliced)
- 6 large tortillas
For the peanut sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼–½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 large garlic clove (minced)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the peanut sauce ingredients until smooth.
2. In another large bowl, add coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and peanuts.
3. Pour the sauce over the slaw mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Let it sit to absorb the flavors.
4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable.
5. Divide the cooked chicken and the sauced coleslaw mixture evenly among the tortillas.
6. Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, securing with a toothpick if needed.
7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
Notes
Store-bought peanut sauce can be used as a shortcut if preferred.
Wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers for extra crunch and freshness.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
