Easy does it!
Prepare peanut sauce. Add all ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake. Set aside.
Prepare vegetables, chicken and slice cheese. The filling is a quick saute / stir-fry. Preparing all the ingredients in advance is essential for perfect cooking and the best, crisp flavor.
Spray a saute pan with a fine mist of canola oil. Heat pan to medium / medium-high.
Add carrots, red bell pepper, jalapeno and green onion.
Working quickly, stir and add a squeeze of lime.
Add ginger.
Add cabbage.
Squeeze more lime over cabbage and stir.
Add garlic and stir. Add more lime if desired.
Stir in chopped, cooked chicken.
Cook just until cabbage is slightly softened.
Turn off heat and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoon(s) peanut sauce.
Incorporate peanut sauce.
Stir in cilantro.
Remove from heat. Total cooking time about 5 minutes.
Let’s get rolling!
On a flat surface, place a flour tortilla. Position 5 slices of cheese in center.
Top with heaping 1/2 cup cabbage mixture.
Distribute cabbage mixture across tortilla.
Roll up.
Preheat grill or griddle to medium-high / high. Place rolls on grill fold side down and grill until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden.
Slice into 4 or 5 pieces and serve with peanut sauce. Makes 4 entrée servings or 8 appetizer servings.

These are positively gorgeous so exquisite fusion dish a little of everything! Certainly the best of 2 cuisines in a tasty small package :)
Thanks, Gera! It’s one of my favorites… I hope you give it a try!
i just made this and pigged out too
couldn’t get some of the more fancy ingredients, but i think the Raclette cheese i used comes pretty close to the monterey jack which i haven’t had for a long long time and that one on a pizza too
post that foodshoot tomorrow, if i eat anything else i’ll burst
JASON! I can’t even tell you how excited I get when I hear you tried one of my recipes! Simply makes my day ;) You are awesome… xoxo, Betty
Stunning ingredients! I think I wanna try that out, to cook it for myself. I really love cooking new menus for my family and friends, to have some experiences about new delicacie4s and foods.
Thanks Betty!
Oh my God does that ever look good..
This will be on my table before too long.!!!
I love it and I am going to try it.
It sounds so fantastic and the picture is great.!!!
Thanks for sharing.!!!
Thanks for the recipe.
The rolls were very similar to ones that I regularly make for friends but I esp. found the Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce recipe to be invaluable. It had far more flavor than the recipe I had been using before.
Oh yeah, I love the pictures, just coming back to post this comment made my mouth water and want to make them again.
These look mouth watering, I am drooling looking at the computer screen.
Hey, I really liked that and will surely be back for more
Lovely rolls and the dipping sauce is perfect! The chai tea is an interesting addition indeed!
Bon appetit!
=:~)
Looks so tasty! Can’t wait to cook that myself. I will let you know if I succedd or not. But I’m sure I will you know ;-) Thank you for the recipe.
I tried those Thai-Mexican Rolls and I will be cooking them at least once a month now. Thanks a million for that recipe, you are awesome!
