These wraps feature tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy peanut sauce, offering a delightful balance of flavors perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Chicken and Wraps
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into strips provides lean protein
- 4 large flour tortillas wrap structure
For the Peanut Sauce
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter adds richness and flavor
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce brings savory depth
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil imparts nuttiness and moisture
- 2 tablespoons lime juice adds tanginess and balances flavors
- 2 tablespoons honey enhances sweetness in the sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced provides aromatic flavor
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated adds warmth and spice
For the Fresh Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh lettuce leaves contributes crunch and freshness
- 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded adds color and texture
- 2 large carrots, julienned offers sweet crunch
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped adds herbal brightness
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken strips and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Remove the cooked chicken from heat and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Wash and chop the fresh vegetables: tear lettuce, shred cabbage, julienne carrots, and chop cilantro.
Assembly
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a plate. Place a portion of the cooked chicken in the center, followed by the fresh vegetables and peanut sauce.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, enclosing the filling snugly.
- Repeat for the remaining tortillas, placing them seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with any remaining peanut sauce before serving.
Notes
Use fresh vegetables for the best texture. Consider marinating the chicken for extra flavor. Store leftovers tightly wrapped to maintain freshness.
