Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 1 small (julienned) Cucumber
- 2 stalks (finely sliced) Green onions
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 6 pieces Tortillas
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the fresh toppings: shred carrots, julienne cucumber, slice green onions, and chop cilantro.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
To assemble, place a portion of the cooked chicken onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded carrots, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the toppings and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Fold the tortillas into a wrap or leave them open-faced as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
