03 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
04 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

10 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
11 - 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (optional, for heat)

→ Wraps & Vegetables
13 - 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
14 - 1 cup shredded carrots
15 - 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
16 - 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
17 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
18 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
19 - 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate while you prepare the remaining components.
02 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce until smooth. Gradually add warm water and adjust to your preferred consistency.
04 - Warm each flour tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, or microwave briefly until pliable and soft.
05 - Spread a generous tablespoon of peanut sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer with cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and green onions. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and chopped roasted peanuts.
06 - Drizzle additional peanut sauce over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll each wrap tightly. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately with a wedge of fresh lime.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The peanut sauce is the kind of thing you will want to put on everything from noodles to your fingers.
- It comes together faster than scrolling through delivery apps and tastes twice as good.
02 -
- Do not skip resting the chicken for a minute after cooking because carryover heat finishes the job and juices redistribute instead of running out.
- If your peanut sauce seizes and looks grainy, add another splash of warm water and keep whisking because it always comes back together.
03 -
- Slice all vegetables as thin as you possibly can because thin shreds fold neatly into the wrap without springing open.
- Taste the peanut sauce before assembling and adjust lime or honey until it makes you close your eyes.
