Step-by-Step Instructions

Tips for Perfect Thai Peanut Wraps

• Protein swap: Substitute shrimp or firm tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Spice upgrade: Add 1/2 tsp sriracha to the peanut sauce for a kick.
• Avoid sogginess: Use fresh tortillas and assemble right before serving.
• Peanut butter hack: Use a spoon to spread sauce first, less mess and maximizes coverage.

How to Serve and Store

Serve these wraps with a side of jasmine rice or a Thai-inspired salad. Pair with iced green tea or lemongrass soda for a refreshing touch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven, avoid stovetop for tortillas to prevent sogginess.
