Ingredients
  

Chicken and wraps
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup purple cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
  • 0.25 cup green onions
  • 1 sesame seeds for garnish
Thai peanut sauce
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp water to thin

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the Thai peanut sauce
  1. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, sriracha, and water together until smooth, adding more water only if needed to loosen the sauce.
Warm tortillas
  1. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side, until pliable with light brown spots.
Assemble the wraps
  1. Spread 2 tablespoons peanut sauce over each warm tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
Fill and roll
  1. Layer sliced chicken, shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions in a line down the center of each tortilla.
Finish and slice
  1. Drizzle extra peanut sauce over the filling, sprinkle with sesame seeds, then roll up tightly.
Serve
  1. Slice each wrap in half and serve with extra peanut sauce for dipping.

Notes

For the cleanest roll, warm tortillas just before assembling so they stay flexible. Store assembled wraps in the refrigerator up to 2 days, keeping extra peanut sauce separately; do not freeze for best tortilla texture. For a lower-sugar option, replace honey with an equal amount of maple syrup or brown sugar substitute.
