Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, and chili flakes. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken thighs, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Slice into thin strips.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla on a clean surface, spread peanut sauce, add a layer of Asian slaw, and top with sliced chicken. Roll tightly and garnish with cilantro and peanuts if desired.
