Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 2–3 Tbsp warm water
- 4 cups colese slaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 green onions
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 4 large flour tortillas or lavash
- to taste sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice until smooth. Thin with warm water at a time until the dressing is pourable but still coats a spoon.
- 2Taste and adjust heat with sriracha if you like it spicy; set aside half the dressing for drizzling later.
- 3Place shredded chicken in a bowl and toss with the remaining half of the peanut dressing until every strand is glossy and coated.
- 4Thinly slice the red bell pepper into matchsticks and slice the green onions on a sharp bias. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems.
- 5In a large bowl combine coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, and half the chopped peanuts.
- 6Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted in spots.
- 7Lay a warm tortilla flat, pile on a generous handful of the crunchy slaw, then top with dressed chicken.
- 8Drizzle with extra peanut sauce, sprinkle remaining peanuts, and fold the sides in before rolling tightly from the bottom like a burrito.
- 9Slice each wrap on the diagonal with a sharp knife. Serve immediately or wrap snugly in parchment and refrigerate up to 24 hours for grab-and-go lunches.
- 10If packing ahead, keep a small container of extra sauce on the side so the tortilla does not soften.
