how to store Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

tips to make Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

  • Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep time.
  • Feel free to add your favorite veggies, like avocado or snap peas.
  • For a spicier kick, add some Sriracha to the peanut sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes inside the wraps.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, swap the chicken for tofu or chickpeas.

variation

You can easily change up the flavor by using different sauces. Try a sweet chili sauce instead of peanut sauce for a different taste. You can also experiment with different wraps, such as spinach or whole wheat tortillas.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the wraps when you are ready to eat.

What type of lettuce works best?
Romaine or butter lettuce works great for wraps as they are sturdy and can hold the filling well.

Can I freeze these wraps?
It’s not recommended to freeze the wraps once assembled, as the lettuce will become soggy. However, you can freeze the filling separate from the wraps and then make them fresh later.
