Thai Chicken Wraps

*Hey all! I just wanted to let you know, my computer is giving me total attitude and has made it very difficult to go food blog surfing. I'm telling you this because I haven't been able to leave comments the way I like to. Computer and I need to duke it out some more and hopefully I'll be back soon!





Not too long ago I ordered a wrap really similar to this at T.G.I. Fridays. They have a $5 deal going on for the rest of this month, so if you're looking for a cheap date, or lunch, it's not too bad.



Anyway, the entire time I was eating it I kept thinking to myself how easily I could make something like this at home with ingredients I already had in my fridge. So a few days later, I whipped one up. It was light, healthy and absolutely scrumptious.

Thai Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

Spinach or flour tortillas
Diced or shredded chicken
chopped lettuce
chopped tomato
chopped green onion
sliced red pepper
cooked soba or spaghetti noodles (I put a little less than 1/4 cup on each wrap)
chopped peanuts
chopped cilantro
hoisin sauce
peanut sauce
sweet chili sauce

Directions

Mix sauces to taste, there is no wrong way to put the sauce together, it all tastes delicious! Lay out tortilla, assemble all ingredients pouring sauce on first and last, and maybe leaving a little left to dip! Wrap tightly, cut in half if desired and enjoy!

This looks like it would be a very tasty and healthy meal...and I think I already have all the ingredients in my fridge. I guess I know what I'm serving for dinner tonight. Thanks!! :)

This looks great! Way better than anything you can buy. A lot of people are having trouble even seeing some blogs. It has something to do with Internet Explorer, installing Mozilla Firefox worked for my friend. All of her problems disappeared and she loves it.

Ah computers. it's always a love/hate relationship.

What a better way to save 5 bucks than making the homemade way. Nice! Looks delish!!

This looks absolutely delicious teresa. Love the thai flavors going on.. My computer has been acting up today also..I can not get onto certain blogs.

Mmm, I love a good wrap. Especially when that wrap involves the words "Thai chicken." These wraps look delicious AND nutritious--a stellar combo, if you ask me :)

We have 2 computers in this house, and we both use a different internet browser. I used Sweetie-Pi's computer yesterday and could not get onto any blogs; all my favs were aborted.

I came upstairs to my office and was able to connect with everyone.

The only difference that I can see? He uses Google and I use Mozilla Firefox browser. I don't know if that's really what makes the difference, but let me toss that observation into the ring.

Anyway, your wrap looks like the delicious copycat! Much, much nicer to be able to make them at home. Good on ya for being able to put it all together and sharing with us!

I can absolutely, positively see us having this here. Love all the fresh veggies in this one.
