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 measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. If you like a thinner sauce, add water to reach your desired consistency.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the peanut sauce over this mixture and toss to combine well. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, wrap them tightly, and serve immediately.
