Asian Burrito

Found a recipe to make my own Hoisin sauce so we HAD to try these burritos! HUGE hit!  The kids devoured them! (No leftovers!)  Cabbage, ginger salsa and all!  YUM YUM YUM!! I love it when new recipes are not duds! 

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey

1 C oats

3 TBLS water

6 TBLS soy sauce

2 TBLS real peanut butter

1 TBLS honey

2 tsp rice vinegar

2 tsp tahini 

1/8 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Whole wheat tortillas

2 C shredded cabbage

2 carrots, grated

       

     Ginger salsa:

     2 tomatoes

     chopped cilantro

     2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger

Directions:

Prepare ginger salsa and set aside.

In a skillet, cook ground turkey (or beef) until browned.  Drain grease and stir in oats.  Add oats through cayenne on the ingredients list.  Let simmer for a few minutes to blend flavors.

Warm tortillas and fill with meat mixture, top with cabbage and carrots, and the ginger salsa.  Wrap it up like a burrito to enjoy!

EXTRA: Sometimes the meat gets pretty dry with the oats soaking up all the juice.  So I add 1/4 C water at a time until it's the consistency I would like to put in my burrito. Sometimes only 1/4 C sometimes 1/2 C.

ALSO if you are avoiding gluten this is great as a salad! Loose the tortilla and pile some meat on your bed of cabbage and carrots, topping with the ginger salsa! So fresh. So yum!
