Ingredients:

• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp grated gingerroot
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp sambal oelek (chili paste)
• 1 lb chicken breast or pork loin, thinly sliced
• 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a medium bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated gingerroot, minced garlic, and sambal oelek until well combined.

2. Marinate the Meat:

   • Reserve 1 cup of the hoisin sauce mixture for later use.
   • Add the thinly sliced chicken or pork to the remaining sauce mixture in the bowl. Stir well to coat.
   • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. Cook the Meat:

   • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with olive oil.
   • Add half of the marinated chicken or pork to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and nicely seared.
   • Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set aside.
   • Repeat with the remaining batch of chicken or pork, adjusting olive oil as needed, and ensuring to wash the pan between batches if necessary.

4. Assemble the Wraps:

   • Warm the flour tortillas according to the package directions.
   • Spread about 2 tablespoons of the reserved hoisin sauce mixture down the center of each tortilla.
   • Arrange a portion (1/8th) of the cooked chicken or pork slices and 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions down the center of each tortilla.
   • Roll up the tortillas tightly to form wraps.

5. Serve:

   • Cut each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
