    List of Ingredients




    4 dried black Chinese mushrooms or dried shiitake mushrooms
    1/3 cup fat-free chicken or vegetable broth
    1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2 teaspoons sesame oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
    4 cups shredded green cabbage or packaged cole slaw mix
    1 carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces
    1 small zucchini, cut into matchstick-size pieces
    2 green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces
    8 6-inch whole-wheat or spinach tortillas
    1/4 cup hoisin sauce

    Recipe



    Soak dried mushrooms in 1/2 cup warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, reserve mushroom liquid, remove and discard any stems and thinly slice caps.

    Whisk together broth, soy sauce and cornstarch; set aside.

    Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until no longer pink. Add cabbage, carrot, zucchini, green onions, reserved mushrooms and mushroom liquid and stir-fry for 1 minute, until cabbage wilts. Add cornstarch mixture and simmer 1 minute, until liquid thickens. Remove from heat.

    Wrap tortillas in plastic and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of hoisin sauce on each tortilla, add chicken and vegetable mixture and roll up.
