Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Ensure the cooked chicken is shredded and ready to use. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce to create a spicy peanut sauce. Mix well until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the vegetables by shredding the carrots and lettuce. Set them aside for assembly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If desired, you can add a small amount of oil to the skillet to prevent sticking. Once the skillet is hot, add the shredded chicken to warm it through, stirring occasionally for about 3-5 minutes.
- While the chicken is warming, warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in the same skillet for about 10 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
- Once the chicken is heated, remove it from the skillet and add it to the bowl with the spicy peanut sauce. Toss the chicken in the sauce until it is well coated.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous portion of the spicy chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a handful of shredded carrots and lettuce on top of the chicken mixture for crunch and freshness.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all wraps are assembled, you can serve them immediately or cut them in half for easier handling. Enjoy your Spicy Chicken Peanut Wraps!
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken to ensure your wraps are juicy and delicious.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of sriracha sauce to suit your spice tolerance.
- For extra crunch, consider adding toasted chopped peanuts or sliced green onions as additional toppings.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make assembly quick and easy during busy weekdays.
- If you want a lighter version, you can use low-sodium soy sauce and Greek yogurt instead of full-fat peanut butter.
- These wraps are best served immediately, but can be wrapped in foil and kept warm for about 30 minutes if needed.
