Begin by preparing all the vegetables and herbs. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado, and rinse the bean sprouts and fresh herbs.
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions and let them cool completely.
To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine the natural peanut butter, unsweetened coconut milk, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To assemble the rice wraps, fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water and let it soften for about 15-20 seconds, until it becomes pliable.
Gently lay the softened rice paper on a clean, damp tea towel or cutting board.
Place a small portion of noodles, a few slices of each vegetable, avocado, a handful of bean sprouts, and a mix of mint, cilantro, and basil leaves at one end of the rice paper wrap.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve the rice wraps immediately with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
