How to serve Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps
Serve the wraps fresh and warm or cold. Add extra chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of chopped peanuts on top. Serve with a side salad, fresh fruit, or simple chips for a full meal.
How to store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps
If you make the filling ahead, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep tortillas or lettuce separate and assemble just before eating to keep wraps fresh. Leftover filled wraps will last about one day in the fridge before they get soggy.
Tips to make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps
Use warm cooked chicken so the sauce spreads easily. Slice vegetables thin for a good bite. If the sauce is too thick, add a little warm water to thin it. For a quick meal, use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken. For a different sauce idea, you can look at this simple 3-Ingredient Orange Chicken for inspiration on sweet sauces.
Variations
- Use tofu or shrimp instead of chicken for a change.
- Add chili flakes or sriracha for heat.
- Swap tortillas for large lettuce leaves for a low-carb version.
- Mix in chopped mint or basil for extra fresh flavor.
