Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes 16 pinwheels

Ingredients

  • 2 burrito-size flour tortillas 10 inch
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot patted dry
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth and pourable; warm 10 seconds in the microwave if it's too stiff to spread.
  • Toss the shredded chicken with 3 tablespoons of the peanut sauce until coated.
  • Spread the remaining peanut sauce over one tortilla, right to within 1/2 inch of the edge.
  • Layer half the sauced chicken, carrot, cabbage, and cilantro over the sauce.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly from the near edge into a firm log.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and repeat with the second tortilla and remaining filling.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until firm enough to slice without the vegetables sliding out.
  • Trim the ends and cut into 8 rounds with a serrated knife.
  • Arrange on a platter and serve chilled, with extra peanut sauce drizzled over the top if you like.

Good to Know

Shred the carrot and cabbage the night before and keep them in a paper-towel-lined container; they stay crisp and dry until you're ready to roll.
