Asian Chicken Wraps

INGREDIENTS:
For The Chicken Wraps:
– 3 cups coleslaw mix
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1/3 cup roasted peanuts
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped or sliced
– 6 large tortillas

For The Peanut Sauce:
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
– 1/4 cup peanut butter
– 3 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
– 1 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– 1/2 tsp pepper
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/4 – 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
– 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
– 1 large garlic clove, minced

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut sauce ingredients. In another bowl, add the cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and peanuts. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir. Let this sit while you prepare the tortillas and chicken. Heat up the tortillas for about 10 seconds in the microwave to make them easier to work with. Divide the chicken and coleslaw between each tortilla. Roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
