2. Soak mushrooms in 1 cup hot water for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well; remove and discard stems. Cut mushroom caps into thin strips
3. While mushrooms are soaking, cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into thin strips. Stack 3 or 4 strips at a time; cut lengthwise in half. Combine marinade ingredients in large bowl. Add beef; toss. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
4. Drain beef, discarding marinade. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of the beef, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. (Do not overcook.) Remove beef. Repeat with remaining beef.
5. Combine beef, mushrooms, coleslaw mix, green onions and cornstarch mixture in skillet. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened and bubbly.
6. To assemble: Spread a little hoisin sauce on each tortilla. Spoon beef mixture the down center. Fold bottom edge over filling; fold right and left sides toward center, overlapping sides a bit.
