Steps to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha sauce. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrots, cilantro, and peanuts. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated. Let the filling sit for a few minutes to let the flavors absorb.
3. Warm the Tortillas: Microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds to soften them and make them easier to roll.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Divide the filling evenly between the tortillas, wrap them tightly, and serve immediately.

Important Notes for the Perfect Wraps

• If your peanut butter is too thick, microwave it for about 30 seconds to make it easier to mix into the dressing.
• The number of wraps will vary depending on how much filling you use and the size of the tortillas.

FAQs About Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

1. Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?

Yes! You can substitute the chicken with tofu, shrimp, or even beef, depending on your preference. Each protein will bring a unique flavor to the wraps, and the peanut dressing will complement them all beautifully.

2. Can I make the wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it’s best to assemble the wraps just before serving, as the tortillas might get soggy if they sit too long with the dressing.

3. Is there a gluten-free option for the wraps?

Yes! You can use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe completely gluten-free. Just make sure your soy sauce is also gluten-free, or swap it for tamari sauce.

4. How can I make the dressing spicier?

If you like extra heat, feel free to add more sriracha sauce to the dressing. You can also include red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to kick up the spice level.
