Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
-
In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, and sriracha.
-
Coat chicken with marinade and let sit 10 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).

Let rest, then slice into strips.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Sauce
-
Whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients until smooth.
-
Add warm water 1 tsp at a time until desired drizzling consistency is reached.

Top with sliced chicken and drizzle generously with peanut sauce.
-
Roll tightly like a burrito. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately!
Tips for Success
-
Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.

Warm tortillas before wrapping to prevent tearing.

Adjust peanut sauce heat by adding more sriracha or chili flakes.

For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cucumber or shredded romaine.
