A few weeks ago, we went out after a game with some friends to the local CPK (a.k.a. California Pizza Kitchen). The kids of course all ordered pizzas but the grown ups opted for a variety of small plates and salads. One of the things we tried were the “spring rolls” – flour tortillas stuffed with chicken, carrots, scallions and a kicky peanut sauce rolled into cylinders and then cooked in the pizza oven.
They were pretty good – but it was the concept that captured my attention. I loved the contrast of the warm, crispy tortilla and the crunchy vegetables and my mind instantly starting dreaming up different flavor combinations. Since then, I’ve been experimenting with the concept – and am pleased to say that they worked – no pizza oven required! Since they now have their FSA (a.k.a Family Seal of Approval) and I am happy to share them with you!!
These make a great snack, appetizer, lunch or even dinner when paired with a large salad.
See something new – yup, the recipe formatting is new!! Not only can you print out just the recipe but you can also add the recipe to your own recipe box! Pretty cool, huh? If you’d like more information on how the recipe box works, check out Ziplist for details! Oh, and one last thing – like everything else offered here at the Table, this is absolutely free!!!
I used thinly sliced grilled chicken breast in these but if you have extra roasted chicken that would work well too. The beauty of this recipe is that it is perfect for leftover chicken. If you don't like peanut sauce, these would also be good brushed with hoisin sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 - 8 inch flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup peanut sauce - I like House of Tsang
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 8 oz. cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
- 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
- extra peanut sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Pre heat a non stick griddle over medium high heat.
- Lay tortillas on a flat surface. Brush the tortillas with the peanut sauce to about 1/2 inch from the edge.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella over the peanut sauce, dividing equally among the 4 tortillas.
- Place the cabbage on top of the cheese, towards the bottom of the tortilla in a thin strip. Don't scatter the cabbage over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Place some of the shredded carrots on top of the cabbage.
- Sprinkle with some of the scallions and cilantro and top with some of the chicken.
- Roll the tortilla up jelly roll style.
- Place the tortillas seam side down on the griddle. Grill until the tortilla is toasted brown on the bottom. Turn the tortillas and continue to grill until the torillas are golden brown.
- Remove tortilla rolls from the griddle and let cool for about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife (serrated works well) slice the tortilla rolls in half and serve with extra peanut sauce for dipping if desired.

I love FSA – we have FHB – family hold back – but will be using FSA from now on…
FHB -LOL!! Love that!!
If it has peanut sauce? I will love it. I’ve made my own versions of some things from CPK; thing my favorite ever is a pizza with pears and bleu cheese which I don’t think they even server anymore. Maybe cause I started making it at home? Oops!
Ha!!! I loved that pizza too and was bummed when they took it off the menu – hmmm… we may have to start a campaign to get it back on for those nights when we aren’t in the mood to make it for ourselves!!!
Nancy, I love chicken with peanut sauce. Great recipe & I like your new recipe layout
Thanks Marla!! Iknow.. I have to try your peanut sauce version – I know it will rock!
yum – I like how you recreated this. They are so healthy and delicious and I love where your inspiration came from!
Hi Susan,
Thanks!! These have been really fun to play with!
Ok, I feel like I just woke up from hibernation or something … ZipList? Under the rock in which I’ve apparently been, I’ve not heard of it before?! Ugh, how does that happen? Geez.
Thanks for opening my eyes, and for posting this delicious recipe.
Hi Judy!!
They are a great group – and this plug in is very simple to use!!
Oooh. That looks great. It’s great to find inspiration in unexpected places (like CPK)!
I know… life is strange sometimes!
Everything you do gets my seal of approval. GREG
