- For the chicken: Preheat your grill to 400 F. While the grill is heating make a simple marinade for your chicken by combining a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Place your chicken in your marinade and let it sit in the fridge until your grill is hot.
- When the grill is ready place your chicken on it and grill for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
- For the mushroom quinoa filling: Rinse the quinoa in cold water.
- Add the coconut milk and the quinoa into a sauce pot.
- Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for 15 minutes to cook.
- While the quinoa cooks, add the Earth Balance butter to a pan and heat over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted add your mushrooms.
- Cook low and slow for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce for extra flavor.
- When the quinoa is cooked, add it to your mushrooms.
- Add a dash of salt and pepper, a splash of half of a lime and stir to combine.
- For the peanut tofu sauce: Combine your peanut butter, tofu, minced garlic clove, hot sauce and a splash of rice wine vinegar in the food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- For the assembly: When your chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks or you can cut it into strips.
- Put your mushroom quinoa in a bowl.
- Wash and dry your lettuce leaves and place them on a plate.
- Assemble your wraps, and dip it in the peanut tofu sauce.
- We like to add the carrots, cucumber and a splash of lime on top!
