Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz soft flour tortillas (10-inch), warmed about 4 large tortillas
  • 4 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped rotisserie works great
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 tsp sriracha (or chili-garlic sauce) add more for heat
  • 2 tbsp warm water to thin the sauce
  • 2 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cup romaine lettuce, torn for layering
  • 0.5 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, and warm water until smooth.
  • Toss chicken with about two-thirds of the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with remaining sauce and toss to coat.
  • Warm tortillas until pliable in a microwave or dry skillet.
  • Layer lettuce on each tortilla. Spoon on chicken and a handful of slaw. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  • Roll up tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides. Slice in half and serve.

Notes

Variation: Swap tortillas for butter lettuce leaves for a lighter, gluten-free option. Try adding a splash of fish sauce or extra lime for a brighter, punchier dressing. For extra crunch, quickly toast the peanuts before chopping.
Make-ahead: Mix the chicken with sauce and prep the slaw up to 2 days ahead; store separately and assemble just before serving. Leftover wraps keep well, tightly wrapped, for up to 1 day.
