Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast Cut into strips for quick cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce Adds saltiness and umami; opt for tamari if you're keeping it gluten-free.
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil Enhances flavor immensely; olive oil works as a substitute in a pinch.
For the Peanut Sauce
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter Provides rich creaminess; almond butter or tahini can be used as alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice Brightens the dish beautifully; fresh lime is best for flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced; gives aromatic depth; use garlic powder if you're in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated; adds a zesty kick; ground ginger can be substituted but fresh is preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Balances the sauce with sweetness; maple syrup makes a great vegan option.
For the Wraps
  • 4 large flour tortillas Base for the wraps; try whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
  • 2 cups fresh lettuce leaves Adds crunchy freshness; Romaine or butter lettuce are excellent choices.
  • 1 cup purple cabbage shredded; provides color and crunch; feel free to swap with other cabbage types.
  • 2 large carrots julienned; brings sweetness and texture; bell peppers can also deliver that satisfying crunch.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped; offers a burst of herbal flavor; omit if it's not your favorite.
