Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
- 1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup carrots, julienne cut
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted salted peanuts
Sauce
- 1 cup Spicy Peanut Sauce
Wraps
- Four 10″ round soft flour tortillas (can substitute with low carb or gluten-free tortillas)
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the cubed chicken breast, chopped peanuts, coleslaw mix, julienned carrots, and chopped cilantro. Toss these together gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Add Peanut Sauce: Pour in about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the spicy peanut sauce to the bowl and stir the mixture thoroughly until everything is coated well with the sauce.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the chicken and slaw mixture onto the bottom third of the tortilla.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling. Then, fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to encase the filling securely, forming a neat wrap.
- Prepare Remaining Wraps: Place the finished wrap seam-side down on a plate to prevent it from unrolling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately with extra spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping, or wrap each tightly in plastic wrap for meal prep to enjoy later.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast leftover from a previous meal or quickly poach or grill chicken to prepare.
- Adjust the amount of spicy peanut sauce based on your heat preference.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored refrigerated for up to 2 days for easy lunches or quick dinners.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as mint or basil for extra aroma and flavor.
