Rotisserie Chicken Banh Mi Wrap
with pickled carrots and daikon / smoothie
Use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut for these wraps that are inspired by Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. The traditional pickles and the not-so-traditional Sriracha mayo give the wraps plenty of flavor and texture.
Smarts: Daikon radish and carrots are typically used to make Vietnamese pickles, but if you can't find the unique white radish, cucumbers work just as well. The longer the pickles marinate, the more tender and tart they'll be, so plan ahead if you'd like them to have the most pickle flavor.

SO good, and so fast! And for the kids I just throw the rotisserie chicken on pasta or rice, and we can enjoy our Sriracha covered wraps ;)
0 HelpfulEasy to put together and tasty. I didn't make the smoothie though because I couldn't find mango.
0 HelpfulJust a few ingredients matched together making a really scrumptious meal. The smoothie was a nice addition. We were very full.
0 HelpfulSkipped the smoothie. The spices on the tofu were good and paired nicely with the carrot and cucumber but overall it didnt wow us. Quick and easy, though, which is always appreciated!
