Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter natural, unsweetened
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce adjust more or less to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed or grated
  • 1 tablespoon ginger root grated
  • 2-4 tablespoons warm water to thin the sauce
  • 4 burrito-sized tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and grated
  • 2 cups purple cabbage shredded
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural, unsweetened peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, unseasoned rice vinegar, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and pressed garlic. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add 2 to 4 tablespoons of warm water to thin the sauce to your preferred consistency.
  • Peel and grate the carrots, shred the purple cabbage finely, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and wash the baby spinach leaves. If your chicken isn’t cooked, poach or roast it until fully cooked, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken with the prepared peanut sauce until evenly coated. Add the grated carrots, shredded cabbage, baby spinach, and red bell pepper slices. Gently mix to combine.
  • Warm the burrito-sized tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side, or microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 15-20 seconds to make pliable.
  • Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the peanut chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center. Fold the sides in and roll from the bottom up to create a secure wrap.
  • Serve the Peanut Chicken Wraps immediately for best texture and flavor. They pair well with a crisp side salad or light soup.

Notes

  • Adjust the chili garlic sauce to control the heat level of the wraps.
  • Prepare the peanut sauce and chop vegetables a day ahead to save time.
  • Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing and make rolling easier.
  • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • Substitute chicken with tofu or turkey for variations.
