Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Chicken breast (1 pound, diced)
- Tortilla wraps (4 large)
- Green bell pepper (1, sliced)
- Red bell pepper (1, sliced)
- Onion (1 medium, sliced)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
- Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Roasted peanuts (1/2 cup, chopped)
- Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
- Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
- Hoisin sauce (2 tablespoons)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until pliable.
- To assemble, place a generous scoop of the Kung Pao chicken mixture onto each tortilla wrap.
- Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro.
- Roll up the wraps tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
