Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 c chicken broth, low-sodium
6 Tbsp hoisin sauce, divided
2 Tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium
2 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
8 oz shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 flour tortillas, 6 inch size
4 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ginger, grated
10 oz pork, cooked, sliced into thin strips
8 oz pre-shredded cabbage (4 cups)
5 scallions, sliced thinly

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the chicken broth, 2 T of the hoisin sauce, all of the soy sauce and cornstarch together. Set aside.
  • 2. Heat 1 T. of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  • 3. Push the mushrooms to the edges of the pan and add the remaining 1 T. oil, garlic and ginger to the center. Cook, mashing the garlic mixture with the back of a spoon, for about 30 seconds.
  • 4. Stack the tortillas on a plate and cover with paper towel. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. You just want to get them soft and hot.
  • 5. Stir in the cooked pork, cabbage and scallions and cook for about 1 minute.
  • 6. Whisk the reserved sauce to recombine and add it to the pan. Bring it to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  • 7. Serve with warm torillas and remaining hoisin sauce. Enjoy!
