Instructions
Bringing these wraps to your table is a breeze, and here’s how you can do it:
1. **Prepare the Chicken**: Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. **Make the Peanut Sauce**: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences, adding more Sriracha if you like it spicier.
3. **Assemble the Wraps**: Lay out a tortilla and start layering with the cooked chicken, sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumbers, and shredded carrots. Drizzle generously with the peanut sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
4. **Wrap It Up**: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half if desired, and serve with lime wedges for an extra zing.
