Thai Chicken Wraps

 Dinner for two! My housemate Lindsey is a 'wrap' girl. When I think of a wrap, I think of her. That may be weird, but it's true. When I was on pioneer women yesterday finding my dinner, I also stumbled upon this recipe for thai chicken wraps.

I thought it looked pretty good and so did she, so we made it for dinner tonight. It exceeded all my expectations. I thought it'd be good... but it was phenomenal. I will definitely be making it again. The sauce was delicious, and then the fresh vegetable crunch and peanut crunch just added something so good.

Her post for this gets a little confusing, so I'm just going to write it out here (with my adjustments).

In a bowl, mix together the 1 tbs rice wine vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sriracha, juice of 2 limes, 1 tbs ginger (fresh or powder - whichever you have), 1 clove of crushed garlic . Whisk it together, then pour off half the liquid into a separate bowl.

For the peanut sauce: To make the peanut sauce, combine all the 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 3 tbs soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tsp (or more) sriracha, juice of 1 lime and then add water until it gets to a nice drizzle-able consistency. Taste and add more of what it needs: spice, sweetness, etc. Set aside.

Dice the 2 chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and put them into the bowl you used to make the marinade. Throw in the squeezed lime halves and set this aside to marinate for a bit.

Into the small bowl with the other half of the marinade, whisk in the 1 tsp cornstarch and 3 tbs honey.

In a heavy skillet over high heat, pour in a small amount of oil. When it's hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Let it sit on one side, undisturbed, for about a minute, then stir the chicken around and cook it until it's totally done, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the sauce that you mixed in a separate bowl. Stir it around; the sauce will immediately start to thicken. Cook over low heat for 1 minute, then remove from heat and allow to cool.

Cut up your carrots into thin strips. For the cucumber, scoop out the inside that is more soft, and then cut into thin strips. 

Assembly: lay a whole wheat tortilla on a cutting board. Add lettuce, chicken pieces, carrot and cucumber strips. Drizzle on peanut sauce and some extra peanuts. Roll the tortilla up tightly and enjoy! I cut mine in half so it was easier to eat.
