These Peanut Chicken Wraps are a quick and healthy lunch option featuring soft flour tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, crunchy coleslaw mix, roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro, all dressed in a creamy, homemade spicy peanut sauce. Perfect for an easy meal any time of the day.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wraps:

  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped or sliced
  • 6 large flour tortillas

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare the Slaw Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Let it sit for a few minutes for flavors to meld.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat each tortilla in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This softens them, making them more pliable and easier to roll without breaking.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the cooked chicken and dressed coleslaw mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Spread the filling lengthwise across the center.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling to form a wrap. Secure with toothpicks if needed to keep the wrap closed. Serve immediately or wrap for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can swap the homemade peanut sauce with your favorite store-bought peanut sauce to save time.
  • Feel free to use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for ease.
  • For extra heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes in the sauce to your taste.
  • These wraps are best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas and tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
