Pad Thai Wraps

This is a Whole Foods recipe. ;) Super easy and pretty good! Not my favorite, but will make it again! ;)



The 3 older kids ate 2 of these wraps! My youngest ended up digging out the noodles and eating them with his hands! ;) I don't want to say he is getting picky and only eats certain foods, but he kinda is! It could be certain textures too, I dunno. He does eat, so I am not complaining! :)





Take your tortilla


Place a nice big lettuce leaf on top...


Place your peanut sauced covered noodles on top of the lettuce....


Then add the peppers, bean sprouts and crushed peanuts...


Roll up and cut in half, dip in peanut sauce if desired!


Make as many as you need/want! :)




Pad Thai Wraps


1/4 pound angel hair pasta


1/4 cup prepared peanut sauce (plus more for dipping if desired)


1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (I didn't have, so I used rice-garlic vinegar)


4 whole wheat or white tortillas


4-8 large lettuce leaves


1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper


1/4 cup chopped, roasted, salted peanuts


2/3 cup bean sprouts


2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves


Make pasta according to package directions. Drain and pour peanut sauce and vinegar over top, mix to combine. Top each tortilla with lettuce, then divide pasta mixture on each tortilla, arranging it in the center. Top with peppers, peanuts, sprouts and cilantro and then roll up each one snugly, tucking in the ends halfway through. Serve with peanut sauce on the side for dipping.


*I didn't have the bigger tortillas, so I didn't tuck my end in! ;) Let me know what you think! It really is good! I didn't measure my pasta or my peanut sauce, I just dumped! ;)
