Rice Paper Veggie Wraps with Hot Peanut sauce

If you can wrap a burrito you can make these lil babies

You will need:

• Cooked Chicken
• Rice Papers 
• Salad and any other Veggies you would like to put in 
• Avocado 

Hot Peanut Sauce:

• Greek 0 fat Yogurt 
• Smooth Peanut Butter
• Chili Sauce 

To make your Peanut sauce:

Just mix the ingredients together.  Add enough peanut butter to satisfy your peanut taste buds.  Add hot sauce carefully this stuff is HOT and so very good :)

To make the wraps:

The Trick with these rice papers is to work fast.  I am not sure how these are prepared but how I do it seems to work.  Boil water in a kettle.  Pour into a bowl.  Dip papers in one at a time water is VERY very hot.  Papers will become soft in under a minute. Now the tricky part!  Fish the lil guy out.  Hold the paper in the air for just a moment to let some of the water drip away.  Lay neatly on a large plate.  I usually layer up two of these.
Build your salad on top and fold in sides.  Wrap it up!

Enjoy :)
