Chicken, vegetables and tortillas

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

If you’re a fan of tortilla, you’d know that a lot of things can go into it aside from traditional Mexican filling. Tortilla is a bread, after all, flat and unflavored and neutral enough to accommodate a wide range of filling.

So, I cooked chicken teriyaki and stuffed my flour tortillas with the sweet and salty chicken strips. And it worked.

Serves 3 to 4.

boneless breast of one chicken or 3 boneless thighs
1/4 c. of light soy sauce
1/4 c. of mirin (sweet rice wine)
1/4 c. of sake
2 tbsps. of sugar
1 tsp. of grated fresh ginger, optional
1 tbsp. of cooking oil
2/3 c. of finely sliced cabbage
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned
1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
6 flour tortillas

Cut the chicken meat into strips. Place in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar and ginger, if using. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Add the chicken with the marinade and cook over high heat until almost dry. Lift out the chicken pieces and transfer to a plate.

With the heat set to low, to the coating the bottom of the pan, add the cabbage, carrot and cucumber.

Toss to coat the vegetables pieces well. Cook for about 30 seconds.

Warm the tortillas in a dry pan.
