Gather These Simple Ingredients

Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha, to taste
  • 1–3 tbsp warm water, to thin

Wraps:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 cup baby spinach or spring mix
  • 1/2 English cucumber, cut into thin sticks
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 4–6 large flour tortillas, warmed
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Let’s Make It Together

  1. Whisk the Sauce
    In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and sriracha until smooth. If it’s too thick, thin it out with warm water until you reach a pourable, creamy consistency.

  2. Toss the Filling
    In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, shredded carrot, spinach, cucumber sticks, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Drizzle two-thirds of the peanut sauce over the mixture. Toss gently to coat and let it rest for 3–5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. Warm Tortillas
    To warm the tortillas, you can microwave them under a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds or heat them in a dry skillet until they’re pliable and golden.

  4. Assemble
    Fill each tortilla with the chicken and veggie mixture, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. If you like, slice them in half for easy handling and drizzle the remaining sauce on top. Serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.

Fun Ways to Customize It

  • Zesty Avocado or Guacamole: Add slices of creamy avocado or a dollop of guacamole for a rich, indulgent twist.
  • Spicy Kick: Toss in some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
  • Herb Variations: Swap cilantro for basil or mint to introduce a different flavor profile that’s equally inviting.
  • Crunchy Additions: Throw in some crispy bean sprouts or sliced radishes for extra texture and zing.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

  • Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the peanut sauce and filling in advance for a super quick assembly later in the week — perfect for meal prep!
  • Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to use leftover rotisserie chicken or a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
  • Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but keep the sauce separate to maintain freshness.
  • Slicing Tricks: For the cleanest slices, use a sharp knife and cut diagonally. This not only looks beautiful but also helps keep all the delicious filling intact.
