Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of sliced chicken breast, 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 4 large tortillas, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1 cup of sliced cucumber, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Add the sliced chicken breast to the bowl with the sauce mixture. Toss the chicken until it is evenly coated with the sauce. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, make sure it is properly cleaned and oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breast slices on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your wrap ingredients. Set out the large tortillas, and have the shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and fresh cilantro ready for assembly.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a portion of the grilled hoisin chicken in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a generous handful of shredded carrots and sliced cucumber on top of the chicken.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the vegetables for added flavor and freshness.
- To wrap the tortilla, fold in the sides and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling securely.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve the grilled hoisin chicken wraps immediately, either whole or cut in half, with extra hoisin sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
Tips
- Marinating Magic: Let the chicken sit in the hoisin sauce mixture for at least 10 minutes, but for maximum flavor, you can marinate up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Grill Game Strong: Ensure your grill or grill pan is preheated and properly oiled to prevent sticking and achieve those beautiful char marks.
- Chicken Perfection: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe and juicy results.
- Wrap Wisdom: Warm your tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers or green onions for additional crunch and flavor.
- Make-Ahead Hack: Grill the chicken and prep the vegetables in advance for a super quick assembly when you're ready to eat.
- Sauce It Up: Keep extra hoisin sauce on the side for dipping – it's a game-changer!
