How to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

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)
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
4-6 tortillas

Directions

In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Pour the peanut dressing over the mixture and toss everything together to combine well. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to mix.
To make the tortillas easier to roll, heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Divide the chicken and veggie mixture among the tortillas, wrap them tightly, and serve immediately.

How to Serve Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps are best served fresh. You can serve them with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping. They also pair nicely with a refreshing cucumber salad or some sliced fruit.

How to Store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Keep the wraps separate from the dressing to maintain their crunchy texture. To enjoy later, simply reheat the mixture and freshen up the tortillas.

Tips to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

For added crunch, consider including sliced bell peppers or cucumbers in the filling.
You can substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha sauce according to your taste.

Variation

You can easily customize this recipe by using different proteins or adding more veggies based on your preferences. Try using shredded rotisserie chicken or even leftover grilled meat.

FAQs

Can I make the sauce in advance?
Yes, the peanut sauce can be prepared a few days ahead of time. Just store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.

What can I serve with these wraps?
These wraps go well with a side of fresh fruit, a light salad, or even some crispy spring rolls for an extra treat.

Can I freeze the wraps?
It’s not recommended to freeze the wraps as they can become soggy when thawed. However, you can freeze the chicken mixture without the tortillas for later use. Just reheat before wrapping.
