Asian Chick’n Wrap with Spicy Tahini Sauce
This Asian Chick’n Wrap with Spicy Tahini Sauce combines fresh greens, crunchy vegan chicken strips and a tahini dipping sauce that is tangy and delicious.
I’ve been having a bit of a wrap obsession lately and this Asian Chick’n Wrap with Spicy Tahini Sauce is definitely my new favorite.
Faux chicken strips are sautéed with teriyaki sauce until they have a nice caramelized and crispy crust and then they are wrapped up with spring salad mix, sweet peppers, jalapeño and a spicy tahini sauce.
I used Beyond Meat “chicken” strips for this recipe, which I totally recommend.
They are lightly seasoned, so they can easily take on any flavor you are working with.
And for any meat eaters wondering if it actually tastes like chicken, let me calm those fears by telling you, it really does!
My boyfriend literally oohed and aahed over this wrap – he couldn’t stop talking about how good the “chicken” was.
I sautéed the chick’n in Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce, but you can use teriyaki sauce if that is all you have.
While the chick’n is cooking, the spicy tahini sauce comes together in a couple minutes. Just combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
If you don’t have tahini on hand, peanut butter will work too – they have very similar tastes.
Once your chick’n is done, layer all of the remaining ingredients in a tortilla and wrap it up.
Serve it with the remaining sauce and you are good to go.
This is a perfect lunch.
Serve it with a side salad or some fries.
