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
- 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.
- Combine shredded chicken with crisp cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture, gently tossing to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Briefly warm tortilla wraps for 10-15 seconds to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Distribute the chicken salad mixture equally across the softened tortillas, ensuring balanced filling in each wrap.
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts over the salad for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly to create a compact, secure wrap.
- 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.
