Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Dressing:
- Combine peanut butter soy sauce brown sugar rice vinegar minced garlic minced ginger and sriracha in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly until completely smooth making sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated. If the dressing seems too thick add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. This dressing should be pourable but still thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Mix the Filling:
- Place chopped cooked chicken coleslaw mix grated carrots cilantro and peanuts in a large mixing bowl. Make sure your chicken is cut into bite sized pieces for easy eating. Gently toss these ingredients together to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture creating a balanced filling with every bite.
- Dress the Filling:
- Pour your freshly made peanut dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Use tongs or two large spoons to fold everything together ensuring each component gets coated evenly with the flavorful dressing. Let this mixture rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the vegetables can slightly soften and the flavors can meld together.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Warm your tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds with a damp paper towel covering them. This critical step makes them pliable and prevents cracking when you roll them. Alternatively warm them in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side if you prefer a slightly toasted exterior.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Lay each warmed tortilla flat and place approximately one sixth of the filling mixture down the center of each one. Fold in the sides then roll from the bottom up making sure to keep the filling tucked in tightly. Slice diagonally if desired for easier handling and serve immediately while still warm and fresh.
