Plus, the soy-free twist makes it a thoughtful option for dietary preferences.
Begin by making the soy-free hoisin sauce. In a small saucepan, combine sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, blackstrap molasses, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, create a slurry by mixing the tapioca starch with water. Once combined, slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin side down into the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the duck breasts and sear the meat side for 1-2 minutes. Then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the duck breasts from the oven and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or in the microwave.
To assemble the wraps, spread a tablespoon of soy-free hoisin sauce on each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, julienned cucumbers, and carrots. Add the sliced duck breast strips on top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling, and serve immediately.
