Grate the ginger and mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating it evenly. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, honey, and sriracha sauce. Stir until smooth and heated through, then set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Lay each tortilla flat and place a lettuce leaf in the center.
Top the lettuce leaf with a portion of the cooked chicken, shredded carrot, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the fillings, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper for a grab-and-go meal.
