Satay chicken and cauliflower wraps

Upgrade your packed lunch with these delicious satay chicken wraps. Tortilla wraps are spread with a creamy lime, chilli and peanut butter satay sauce and layered with tender chicken, roasted cauliflower, spring onions and feisty chilli sauce. Easy to make and dairy-free, lunch times don't get better than this!

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C,  fan 180°C. Put the cauliflower on a lined baking tray and drizzle with 1 tsp oil, the cayenne pepper and some seasoning; toss to coat. Roast for 10 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with 1 tsp oil, the garlic and some seasoning. Put on the baking tray alongside the cauliflower and roast for a further 20 mins or until cooked through, turning the chicken and cauliflower after 10 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the peanut butter in a bowl with the lime juice and chilli sauce. Add 2-3 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp at a time, until it loosens to a creamy, spreadable consistency.
  4. Heat the wraps to pack instructions. Spread each with a generous spoonful of the peanut sauce, the chicken pieces, cauliflower, spring onions and a drizzle more chilli sauce. Roll up to serve.
