Instructions
Instructions
- Start by grabbing a large bowl. Toss in your rotisserie chicken, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, apple sticks, cucumber, red bell pepper, chopped herbs, green onions, and peanuts. Mix it all gently so you don’t squash the good crunch.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together avocado oil, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced green onion, honey, sesame seeds, grated ginger, garlic, black pepper, and hot sauce if you’re using it. This dressing is gonna coat everything perfectly.
- Pour the dressing over the big bowl of salad ingredients. Toss everything well so each bit is bright and flavorful. You wanna taste the balance of sweet, salty, sour, and a touch of heat.
- Lay out your tortillas or coconut wraps on a clean surface. Spoon the salad mix evenly onto each one, leaving a bit of space at the edges so you can roll them tight without stuff falling out.
- Roll each wrap tightly, making sure the filling stays inside. You can slice them in half for easy handling or leave whole. The wrap's softness with the crunchy filling is gonna be a winner.
Notes
Serve these wraps fresh for the best crunch and flavor. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge and assemble wraps just before eating to keep veggies crisp.
