Tofu absorbs flavors well, just like chicken. For a vegan option, swap honey with maple syrup. You can also add more veggies, like bell peppers and zucchini, to boost taste and texture.

Feel free to customize based on what you have at home. Want to change the protein in your wraps? You can use shrimp or beef for a twist. Simply cook them in a pan with a bit of sesame oil. For a lighter option, grilled chicken breast works great. Remember to keep the flavors balanced with the peanut sauce. To keep your spicy Thai peanut chicken wraps fresh, wrap them tightly. Use plastic wrap or foil. This method helps avoid air exposure, which can make them soggy. Store them in the fridge for the best taste.

After warming, you can reassemble the wrap with fresh lettuce and veggies. This keeps the wrap crisp and tasty. These wraps stay good for about three days in the fridge.

Here are a few ideas: - Fresh fruit like mango or pineapple - A light salad with cucumber and lime - Rice noodles for a filling side - Steamed broccoli or snap peas These sides add color and fun to your meal.
