  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless halal chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Vegetables

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (purple or green)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

For the Wrap

  • 4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish)

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 23 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)

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.
