Core components

These form the backbone of every wrap, keeping texture and balance in check.

• 2 green onions, sliced — bright onion hint to finish.

Sauce components

The sauce is the flavor glue, tying each bite together.

• ¼ cup peanut butter — creamy richness that coats every layer.

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar — a light tang to lift the flavors.
• 1 tsp sesame oil — nutty aroma and gloss.
• 1 garlic clove, minced — a sharp, fragrant kick.
• 1–2 tbsp warm water — thin to your preferred saucy consistency.

Optional add-ins and substitutions

customize to taste or pantry; small tweaks make a big impact.

• Bell peppers, shredded lettuce, or sprouts for extra crunch and color.
• Avocado or fresh cilantro for creaminess or brightness.
• Gluten-free tortillas for a celiac-friendly version.
• Vegan option: swap chicken for chickpeas or tofu; use maple syrup instead of honey.
• Skip dairy toppings if desired; the sauce remains dairy-free.

How to Make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Sauce Prep

I start by whisking the sauce base. Peanut butter meets soy, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and water. Stir until smooth, then adjust thickness with warm water.

This Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps flavor shines in every bite. I often mix this sauce ahead so it’s ready to go. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours if you like.

Veggie and chicken prep

I warm the tortillas slightly so they fold easily. Meanwhile, I lay out the veggies and chicken. If chicken is cold from the fridge, a quick 30 seconds in a microwave freshens it. Shredded chicken stays juicier in wraps. Have everything lined up so assembly is a breeze.

Assembly and serving

Lay a tortilla flat and line the center with chicken. Top with carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and green onions, then drizzle sauce. Roll tightly, slice in half if you like, and serve right away.

Tips for Success

• Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps shine when I prep ahead; sauce is ready.
• I warm tortillas briefly so they fold easily and neatly.
• I layer ingredients in a tight line to keep bites balanced.
• I taste and adjust the sauce; I add a little honey or vinegar as needed.
• I pat veggies dry to avoid soggy wraps.
• I keep leftovers in airtight containers for a quick next-day lunch.
• If dairy is an issue, I skip toppings to stay dairy-free.

Equipment Needed

• Sharp knife and cutting board for quick prep
• Two medium mixing bowls and a sturdy whisk
• Small spoon or fork for sauce mixing and portioning
• Tortilla warmer or microwave-safe plate to soften wraps
• Spatula or tongs for clean filling and rolling
• Airtight containers for leftovers or a reusable lunch box

Variations

• Gluten-free twist: use gluten-free tortillas and tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
• Make it vegan: swap chicken for cubed tofu or chickpeas; use maple syrup instead of honey.
• Protein swaps for interest: shrimp, turkey, or tempeh add different textures.
• Spice it up: drizzle with sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes.
• Extra crunch: add bell peppers, shredded lettuce, or alfalfa sprouts.
• Tropical touch: pineapple or mango bits brighten the sauce.
• Fresh herb lift: cilantro, mint, or Thai basil enhances brightness.
• Nuts and seeds: top with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for crunch.
• Low-carb option: wrap in lettuce leaves or collard greens.
• Prep-friendly tweak: prep sauce and veggies ahead for quick assembly.
• Peanut-free alternative: use almond butter or sunflower seed butter if needed.
• Leafy swap: kale or baby spinach adds extra greens and bite.

Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps FAQs

How can I adapt these wraps for kids or picky eaters?

To please picky eaters, I drizzle the sauce lightly or serve it on the side. I also let them choose fillings, keeping ingredients crisp and simple, and wrap size smaller.

Yes. I swap in tofu, shrimp, turkey, or chickpeas. Keep in mind proteins should be cooked and cooled before wrapping.
