Extra Virgin Olive Oil, soy sauce or tamari, minced Thai chili pepper, diced green onion, and chopped cilantro until smooth. Add water if needed for a spreadable consistency.

For the Rice Wraps:

Boil water and pour about an inch into a shallow dish large enough to fit the rice paper (a frying pan works well).Submerge one rice paper in the hot water for a few seconds until pliable but slightly firm. Refresh water as it cools, never soaking longer than 10 seconds.

Lay hydrated rice paper on a wooden cutting board.Place 1/4 cup each of shredded beet and carrot, julienned green onion, and a small amount of diced chicken or tofu.Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut sauce over chicken or tofu. Add avocado slices and cilantro.

Rolling the Wraps:

Fold in sides of rice paper, then gently pull the edge closest to you over filling, tucking in sides as you roll.Use fingers to tighten and tuck the edge back under to seal.Repeat for each wrap.
