Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) cooked chicken breast, shredded

Vegetables:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cabbage (red or green)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cilantro leaves, chopped

Wrap and Garnish:

  • 4 large tortilla wraps
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) roasted peanuts, crushed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Craft a vibrant dressing by whisking soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame seeds until smooth and well-blended.
  2. Combine shredded chicken with crisp cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro in a spacious mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
  4. Briefly warm tortilla wraps for 10-15 seconds to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
  5. Distribute the chicken salad mixture equally across the softened tortillas, ensuring balanced filling in each wrap.
  6. Sprinkle crushed peanuts over the salad for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
  7. Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly to create a compact, secure wrap.
  8. Slice the wraps diagonally to create elegant halves and serve immediately while ingredients remain fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • Customize the protein by swapping chicken with tofu, shrimp, or pulled pork for diverse dietary preferences.
  • Add extra crunch with sliced water chestnuts or radishes to enhance the salad’s texture and freshness.
  • Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and controlling salt content in the dressing.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time and store separately to maintain the wrap’s crisp texture and prevent sogginess.
