• Peanuts
• Peanut butter
• Soy sauce

How to Serve Spicy Chicken Wraps

Spicy Chicken Wraps can be served warm or cold. They are perfect on their own or with a side of fresh fruit or chips. You can also add extra sauces or dips, such as more peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce, for added flavor.

How to Store Spicy Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 2 days. To reheat, you can use a microwave, but be careful not to overheat, as this can make the tortillas tough.

Tips to Make Spicy Chicken Wraps

• Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for more crunch.
• If you like it spicier, consider adding some hot sauce or chili flakes to the peanut sauce.

Variation

You can easily customize this recipe. Swap chicken for shredded turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option. You can also replace the coleslaw with lettuce for a lighter wrap.

FAQs

1. Can I make the wraps in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it separately. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat.

2. Is there an alternative to peanut butter?
Yes, you can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have a peanut allergy.

3. Can I freeze these wraps?
It’s not recommended to freeze the wraps once prepared, as the tortillas can become soggy. However, you can freeze the filling if you want to prepare it ahead of time. Just thaw it before using.
