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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing it well with the sautéed vegetables to combine all the flavors.
  6. 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.
  7. Roll up the tortilla tightly, ensuring the sides are tucked in to hold the flavorful filling.
  8. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy the burst of Szechuan flavor in every bite!
