Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 4 units Flour tortillas (large)
- 1 cup Cucumber (julienned)
- 1 cup Carrot (julienned)
- 4 units Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic. Combine them in a bowl with soy sauce and sesame oil to create a marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and toss them in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and chili flakes. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously, until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Cook the marinated chicken strips until golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the wraps: Place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla, followed by the cooked chicken, cucumber, carrot, and a drizzle of peanut sauce. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Roll the tortillas tightly to form wraps. Slice in half, if desired, and serve with additional peanut sauce on the side.
