Peanut Chicken Wraps

Peanut Chicken Wraps are fresh, flavorful wraps combining shredded or sliced cooked chicken with crunchy coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, chopped fresh cilantro, and roasted peanuts, all tossed in a tangy, spicy peanut sauce made from honey, olive oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

You’ll love this recipe because the creamy, nutty, and slightly spicy peanut sauce coats the crisp veggies and tender chicken beautifully, creating a refreshing yet satisfying wrap. The warm tortillas are softened in the microwave for easy rolling, making these wraps a quick and delicious meal option.

Tips for Success

• Adjust red pepper flakes for your preferred spice level.

• Toast peanuts slightly for added crunch and flavor.

• Warm tortillas briefly for easier rolling without cracking.

• Add extra lime juice or fresh herbs for brightness.

Delicious Variations

• Substitute cabbage with butter lettuce or spinach for a different wrap texture.

• Add sliced avocado or cucumber for freshness.

• Use crunchy peanut butter for texture contrast in sauce.

• Swap soy sauce for tamari for gluten-free option.
