Researchers believe cabbage can protect against heart disease and certain types of cancers. Mix it with brown rice, carrots, chicken and whole-wheat tortillas to round out this hearty meal.
Ingredients:
1/2 c brown rice
2 tsp dark sesame oil
4 scallions, sliced
1/4 lb snow peas, trimmed
1 c finely shredded red cabbage
1 c shredded carrot
2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
6 wheat tortillas (10"-12" diameter)
6 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 c shredded cooked chicken breast
Directions:
1. COOK the rice according to the package directions. Set aside.
2. MEANWHILE, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until wilted. Stir into the rice.
3. BRING a small pot of water to a boil. Add the snow peas and cook for 30 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Pat dry and cut lengthwise into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the snow peas, cabbage, carrot, rice vinegar, and ginger.
4. TO assemble the wraps, lay the tortillas on a work surface. Spread each with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce. Place one-sixth of the chicken in a strip along the bottom of each tortilla, 1" from the edges. Top with the rice and vegetable mixtures. Fold over the bottom edge of each tortilla to cover the filling. Fold the sides in and continue to roll up tightly, burrito style. Cut each in half crosswise with a serrated knife to serve.
