Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts (chopped or sliced)
  • 6 large tortillas
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 large garlic clove (minced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start with your cooked chicken. If you haven’t cooked it yet, poach the chicken breasts in lightly salted water until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Cool and chop or slice.
  2. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger, and garlic until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more vinegar to loosen it.
  3. Prep the Veggies: In another bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. Toss together.
  4. Mix It Up: Add the cooked chicken to the veggie bowl. Pour half of the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss to coat. Reserve the rest of the sauce.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla. Spoon a portion of the chicken-veggie mixture down the center.
  6. Rolling Time: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up to create a snug wrap. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with remaining peanut sauce.

Notes

These wraps are versatile; consider adding extra veggies or using sriracha for heat. Store any leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 2 days.
