What You’ll Need

For the Peanut Dressing:

½ cup peanut butter (natural, creamy)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1-2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (to taste)
Water, as needed to thin

For the Wraps:

3 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
3 cups coleslaw mix
1 cup grated carrots
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
½ cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
6 large flour tortillas

Let’s Make It Together

Make the Peanut Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and sriracha until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it’s pourable and silky.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrots, cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Toss gently to mix the colorful ingredients.
Dress the Filling: Pour the prepared peanut dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes for the flavors to meld beautifully.
Warm Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until they are warm and pliable, making them easy to wrap.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a plate. Place about one-sixth of the filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll them up tightly from the bottom, securing all that delicious filling inside. If you like, slice diagonally for a pretty presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!

Variations & Creative Twists

Zesty Avocado: Add creamy avocado slices for a rich twist and extra nutrients.
Spicy Kick: If you love a bit more heat, toss in some sliced jalapeños or a dash of crushed red pepper flakes.
Crunchy Veggies: Throw in some sliced bell peppers or cucumber for an extra layer of crunch.
Nutty Alternatives: Swap the peanuts for cashews or almonds for a different nutty profile.
