Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
tortillas or wraps
cooked chicken, shredded or sliced
shredded carrots
cucumber, sliced
red cabbage, shredded
green onions, chopped
peanut butter
soy sauce
lime juice
honey or maple syrup
garlic, minced
ginger, grated
water (to thin the sauce)
chili flakes or sriracha (optional)
Directions
I start by preparing the peanut sauce. In a bowl, I mix peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. I add a little water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
I lay the tortilla flat and spread a small amount of the peanut sauce across it.
I add the cooked chicken, shredded carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and green onions.
I drizzle more peanut sauce over the filling for extra flavor.
I fold in the sides and roll the wrap tightly.
I slice it in half and serve immediately.
Servings and Timing
I usually make about 2–3 wraps, serving 2–3 people.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, especially if the chicken is already cooked.
Variations
I sometimes add crushed peanuts for extra crunch or fresh herbs like cilantro. If I want a spicier version, I increase the chili flakes or sriracha. I can also swap chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different twist.
storage/reheating
I store the filling and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. I assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh. I can warm the chicken slightly, but I keep the vegetables crisp.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes, I often use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
How do I thin the peanut sauce?
I add small amounts of water until it reaches the desired consistency.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I prepare the components in advance and assemble the wraps when ready to eat.

What can I serve with these wraps?
