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
  • 12 Tbsp water (optional, to thin dressing)

Wraps

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 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 reach a pourable consistency.
  2. Combine Chicken and Dressing: Add the cooked shredded or chopped chicken to the dressing, stirring until the chicken is evenly coated with the peanut sauce.
  3. Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas or wraps on a clean surface. Divide the shredded cabbage or lettuce, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro evenly among the wraps, placing the greens in the center of each.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Spoon the peanut chicken mixture over the veggies on each wrap. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if using, then carefully roll the wraps tightly to enclose the filling.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest, or refrigerate wrapped in foil or plastic wrap for up to one day for a great on-the-go meal.

Notes

  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken to save time.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free wraps.
  • Add sliced cucumbers or bell peppers for extra crunch.
  • Sriracha amount can be adjusted based on desired spice level.
  • These wraps can be prepared in advance but keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
