How to make the best Chicken Wraps with Honey-Peanut Sauce
STEP 1: Whisk the peanut sauce ingredients (extra virgin olive oil, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, and crushed red pepper) in a medium bowl.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, add the coleslaw mix, carrots, peanuts, and cilantro. Stir in the peanut sauce and let the mixture set while the chicken and tortillas are prepared. Letting the coleslaw and carrots absorb the peanut sauce ingredients will make the sauce taste more flavorful.
STEP 3: To warm the tortillas, heat a frying pan over high heat. Place each tortilla on the pan for one to two minutes per side.
STEP 4: Evenly spread the chicken and coleslaw mixture on the tortillas. To roll, place the shorter side of the wrap or tortilla toward you. Placing both hands on the wrap, and folding in both sides, tightly roll the wrap. If necessary, use toothpicks.
