Asian Cashew Chicken Wraps with Spicy Mushroom Egg Drop Soup

Typical Asian chicken wraps are made with a rich peanut sauce and served in lettuce cups. My Paleo version uses savory cashew butter as the sauce base and crunchy Napa cabbage for the wrap. Topped with toasted cashews and served alongside an egg drop soup, this is a quick and satisfying weeknight meal.
