Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Peanut Sauce

½ cup smooth natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves finely minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 –2 teaspoons sriracha adjust for heat preference
A few tablespoons of water as needed to loosen the sauce

Wrap Filling

3 cups cooked chicken breast diced or shredded
3 cups packaged coleslaw mix
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup roasted peanuts roughly crushed
6 large flour tortillas

Method

1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce

Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha to a medium bowl. Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the dressing feels too thick, slowly stir in water—about one tablespoon at a time—until it reaches a pourable consistency.

2. Mix the Filling

Place the cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, cilantro, and chopped peanuts in a large bowl. Toss the ingredients gently so the vegetables and chicken distribute evenly.

3. Add the Sauce

Pour the peanut dressing over the chicken mixture. Toss everything together until the filling is well coated. Let the mixture rest for about 3–5 minutes so the flavors blend nicely.

4. Soften the Tortillas

Wrap the tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This helps make them flexible and easier to roll.

5. Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon roughly one-sixth of the filling into the center. Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half diagonally if you like, then serve right away.

Notes

Aneta’s Helpful Tips

Adjust the Heat: Begin with a small amount of sriracha if you prefer milder food. You can always stir in more later.

Save Time with Rotisserie Chicken: Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken works perfectly and cuts down prep time dramatically.

Boost the Crunch: Sprinkle a few extra peanuts over the filling before rolling the wraps for added texture.

Low-Carb Alternative: Swap the flour tortillas for large lettuce leaves to create a lighter version of the wrap.

A Quick Story From My Kitchen

This recipe actually came together during one of those chaotic evenings when dinner plans fell apart and takeout sounded dangerously tempting. I grabbed a few ingredients from the fridge, mixed up a quick peanut sauce, and rolled everything into wraps.

To my surprise, my kids took one bite and announced it tasted like “restaurant food.” That’s basically the highest compliment they give any homemade meal. Since then, these wraps have become a regular in our dinner rotation—quick to make, packed with flavor, and way cheaper (and healthier) than ordering out.
