Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards creating these delightful wraps. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re out of certain ingredients, don’t worry! You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter or use rotisserie chicken for a quick alternative. These wraps are flexible and forgiving, much like the improvisational cooking style of my grandmother, who taught me to trust my instincts in the kitchen.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips.
- In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and water until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Spread a generous amount of the peanut sauce onto each tortilla. Layer with sliced chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and green onions.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
This recipe embodies the creativity and care I strive to bring to every meal. Like my abuela, I encourage you to taste and adjust as you go, making it your own.
