Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Tortilla wraps (6 pieces)
- Lettuce leaves (6 pieces, washed and dried)
- Green onions (3 stalks, thinly sliced)
- Carrot (1 large, julienned)
- Green bell pepper (1, thinly sliced)
- Red bell pepper (1, thinly sliced)
- Ginger (1 tablespoon, freshly grated)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Hoisin sauce (2 tablespoons)
- Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
- Szechuan sauce (3 tablespoons)
- Chicken breast (2, thinly sliced)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Szechuan sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. This aromatic and spicy mixture will serve as your marinade.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken to the bowl, making sure each piece is well-coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain their crunch.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it well with the sautéed vegetables to combine all the flavors.
- To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla wrap. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the lettuce leaf.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly, ensuring the sides are tucked in to hold the flavorful filling.
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy the burst of Szechuan flavor in every bite!
