📝 Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken:
- Begin by removing and discarding the skin from the chicken. Then, using your fingers or two forks, shred the chicken into long, thin pieces, ensuring they are no more than 1/4 inch wide. If needed, a knife can also be used for this step. Place the shredded chicken into a large bowl.
-
-
Prep Vegetables:
- Seed the red bell peppers and cut them into long strips, similar in size to the chicken shreds. Add them to the bowl with the shredded chicken. Additionally, prepare the romaine lettuce and cabbage by shredding or chopping them, then add them to the bowl as well.
-
Prepare Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, peanut butter, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, and fresh ginger. Use a whisk or fork to blend the ingredients evenly until you achieve a smooth dressing.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetables in the large bowl. Stir well to ensure that the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
-
Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference. Ensure the flavors are balanced to perfection.
-
Warm Tortillas:
- To warm the flour tortillas, place them directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet on an electric burner. Warm each tortilla for approximately 15 to 30 seconds on each side, or until they become warm and pliable. Repeat this process for all tortillas, stacking them as you go.
-
Assemble Wraps:
- Once the tortillas are warmed, divide the chicken and vegetable filling evenly among them, placing the filling in a wide strip slightly below the center of each tortilla. Fold the edges of the tortillas over the sides of the filling, then fold up the bottom and roll to enclose the filling entirely.
-
Serve or Store:
- These Asian chicken wraps can be enjoyed immediately or made ahead of time. If preparing in advance, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
