Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
- 4-6 large flour tortillas
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, optional for garnish
Directions:
- Cook the chicken:
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and stir-fry until they are nearly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce and vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and honey, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Add the julienned carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
- Combine chicken and vegetables:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional minute to reheat the chicken and coat everything in the sauce.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Warm the flour tortillas according to the package instructions. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle sesame seeds and cilantro over the top if using.
- Serve:
- Fold the tortillas over the filling to form wraps. Serve immediately while hot.
Asian Chicken Wraps offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, from the umami-rich chicken and sauce to the fresh crunch of the vegetables. This dish is a wonderful way to enjoy a taste of Asian cuisine in a fun, hands-on meal that everyone can enjoy.
