Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
  • 4 whole-wheat or flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red pepper (optional)
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1 rice vinegar (optional for extra zing)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • to taste crushed red pepper or chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon oil for brushing (if needed)
  • pinch salt to taste
  • Iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves for wrapping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and a splash of water to desired consistency. If you like a little heat, add crushed red pepper or chili flakes. This will be your sauce base.
  • If your chicken isn’t already shredded, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and toss with half of the peanut sauce until well coated.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, cucumber, red pepper (if using), cilantro, and green onions. If you want a touch of acidity, drizzle a teaspoon of rice vinegar and a tiny bit of sesame oil over the veggies and toss lightly.
  • Warm the tortillas gently (in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15–20 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 15 seconds) to make them more pliable.
  • To assemble, lay a tortilla flat. Start with a bed of greens or lettuce if using, then add a spoonful of the dressed chicken in the center. Top with a generous portion of the veggie mix, and finish with another drizzle of the peanut sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro and green onions.
  • Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling. If desired, brush the outside with a little oil and warm in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to lightly toast the tortilla and meld flavors.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra brightness. These wraps are delicious warm or at room temperature, making them great for meal prep.
