03 - Place a small amount of lettuce, chicken, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and green onion along the bottom third of the wrapper.
04 - Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, warm water, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha until smooth. Adjust water for desired consistency.
06 - Serve spring rolls whole or sliced in half, with peanut sauce for dipping.
