Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized strips
- 3/4 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small zucchini, cut into half-circles
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 4 whole wheat flour torillas
- 8 tsp hoisin sauce
- 1/4 tbsp grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss chicken strips with 5-spice powder, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
- Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Wipe the pan clean, coat with olive oil spray and place over medium heat. Add zucchini and red bell pepper, and cook until just tender.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce on each tortilla.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lay one tortilla (with hoisin sauce) in the skillet, and cover half of the tortilla with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella, then top with a quarter of the chicken, zucchini, bell peppers and another 2 tablespoons of mozzarella.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let the tortilla rest for a few minutes. Cut into 3 wedges.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve.
