- Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, juice from half a lime, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 inch of grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon honey until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

- Prep the Vegetables: Wash and dry lettuce leaves, shred purple cabbage, julienne carrots, and chop cilantro. Place each in separate bowls.

- Assemble the Wraps: Spread 2 tablespoons peanut sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer on lettuce, cabbage, carrots, chicken, and cilantro. Drizzle with extra peanut sauce if desired.
- Fold & Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, roll tightly to form a wrap, and cut in half diagonally. Serve with extra peanut sauce on the side.
