Ingredients
Protein
- Cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced – 2 cups
Asian Slaw
- Green cabbage, thinly sliced – 2 cups
- Carrots, shredded – 1 cup
- Red bell pepper, diced – 1 medium
- Fresh cilantro, chopped – 1/4 cup
- Fresh mint, chopped – 1/4 cup
- Green onions, thinly sliced – 3
- Peanuts (optional), crushed – 1/4 cup
Wraps
- Soft wraps or tortillas – 4 large
Dressing
- Rice vinegar (natural) – 3 tablespoons
- Sesame oil (natural) – 1 tablespoon
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – 1 tablespoon
- Fresh lime juice – 2 tablespoons
- Honey (natural) – 1 tablespoon
- Chili flakes (optional) – 1/4 teaspoon
- Natural gelling agent – 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Asian Slaw: In a large bowl, combine thinly sliced green cabbage, shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, fresh mint, and sliced green onions. Toss gently to mix all the colorful veggies, creating a crunchy base for the wrap.
- Make the Dressing: Whisk together rice vinegar (natural), sesame oil (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), fresh lime juice, honey (natural), chili flakes (if using), and natural gelling agent until smooth. Adjust flavors to balance tanginess, sweetness, and nuttiness to your liking.
- Toss the Slaw with Dressing: Pour the dressing over the mixed veggies and toss well to coat every piece with the zesty flavor. Let the slaw sit for a few minutes so it absorbs the bright dressing and the dressing thickens.
- Prepare the Chicken: If not already cooked, grill or pan-cook chicken breasts seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime. Once cooked, shred or slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a soft wrap or tortilla on a clean surface. Layer a generous portion of chicken, followed by the crunchy Asian slaw. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for a crunchy finish, then roll tightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wrap in half if desired and serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch. Great for eating on the go or as a vibrant plate at the table.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Make the slaw dressing in advance to deepen the flavors before combining.
- Slice Thin: Thinly slice the veggies so they are easy to bite and blend well in every wrap.
- Rest the Dressing: Let the slaw marinate briefly so the natural gelling agent thickens the dressing nicely.
- Balance Flavors: Taste your dressing and adjust the sweetness, acidity, or spice to suit your palate perfectly.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh mint and cilantro elevate the Asian flair and brighten the wrap.
