Ingredients
- ½ Head Napa Cabbage, shredded
- ½ Head Purple Cabbage, shredded
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into matchsticks
- ½ English Cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- 6 oz Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 Cooked Chicken Breasts, shredded
- 1 Bunch Scallions, thinly sliced (about 1 ¼ cups)
- 3 Inch Piece Ginger, peeled and finely minced
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 8 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 4 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil (for sauce)
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 4 Large Spinach Tortilla Wraps
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Napa Cabbage, Purple Cabbage, Yellow Bell Pepper, Red Bell Pepper, and English Cucumber.
- Heat the Vegetable Oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Shiitake Mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Remove from heat and add to the cabbage mixture along with the shredded Chicken Breasts.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Scallions, Ginger, Garlic, Toasted Sesame Oil, Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil, and Red Pepper Flakes to make the sauce.
- Reserve half of the sauce for dipping. Add the remaining sauce to the cabbage and chicken mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Lay the Spinach Tortilla Wraps flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the wraps.
- Fold the sides of each wrap over the filling and roll snugly like a burrito. Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
Pro-Tips
- Slice vegetables uniformly so the textures are balanced in each bite.
- If you want a lighter version, skip the wraps and serve the filling over lettuce leaves.
- Prepare double the sauce and use the extra as a marinade or salad dressing.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to two days; keep the wraps and sauce separate to prevent sogginess.
