Can I make Thai peanut chicken wraps ahead of time?

Yes. Prep the filling and sauce up to 3 days in advance and store them separately. Assemble fresh to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.

What’s the best peanut-free substitute for this wrap?

Sunflower seed butter offers a nut-free alternative with a similar texture. Tahini or almond butter also work but will slightly change the flavor.

How spicy are these Thai peanut chicken wraps?

They’re moderately spicy with 1 teaspoon of sriracha. Adjust up or down depending on your heat tolerance. The dressing is flexible.

Can I freeze the Thai peanut chicken filling?

The chicken and sauce freeze well separately, but avoid freezing coleslaw or assembled wraps. Thaw and re-toss with fresh slaw for best texture.

How do I keep the wraps from tearing?

Always warm your tortillas before rolling and avoid overstuffing. Wrapping them in parchment or foil also helps keep them intact.

Category: Main Course
Method: Assembled
Cuisine: Asian-Inspired

Ingredients

1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
1–2 tablespoons water (optional, to thin the sauce)
2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
3 cups coleslaw mix
1/2 cup grated carrot (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts
4–6 flour tortillas

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha until smooth. Thin with 1–2 tablespoons of water if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts.
Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 3–5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and vegetables to soften slightly.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds covered with a damp paper towel, or in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side.
Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly from the bottom. Slice diagonally if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.
Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas.
Wraps can be stored for up to 2 days if wrapped tightly in parchment and foil.
The peanut sauce keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week.
