For the Wrap

For the Peanut Sauce

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine sliced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Let marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
2. Cook the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add marinated chicken and cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Peanut Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
- Add warm water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired sauce consistency—smooth, creamy, and pourable.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
4. Warm the Tortillas
- Heat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for about 10–15 seconds to soften them and make wrapping easier.
5. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay out tortillas on a flat surface.
- Spread a generous spoonful of peanut sauce down the center of each tortilla.
- Layer cooked chicken, bell peppers, shredded carrot, cabbage, and cilantro.
- Drizzle additional peanut sauce on top and sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts.
6. Wrap and Serve
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
- Slice diagonally if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
