Asian Chicken Wrap with Hoisin Sauce


People are flakes but not like the goodness of a flaky pie crust.  Angry day so wrap up your anger and smile, smile, smile...I think not...vent.  So I have for you a wrap.  Not a hit...who would I like to hit?  Chicken, yes later today the post will be pounded chicken cutlets.  In the meantime, the inners of this dish was nice but the tortillas was just too much (like some people).  Next time, if there is a next time, I would transform it into a lettuce wrap appetizer.

Most amazing huge slicer I acquired recently.  I can slice and dice any size mushroom.

I use kitchen scissors to cut chicken into bit size pieces.
