Weight Watchers Moo Shu Chicken Wraps recipe - 7 points

Moo Shu is a Chinese dish that consists of stir-fried veggies and meat (chicken, pork, beef or even tofu) wrapped in thin Chinese-style crepes with some hoisin sauce. In this quick recipe we will be using flour tortillas instead of the Chinese crepes, and some leftover chicken (if you have no leftovers use a roasted chicken from the store).

Some other ingredients that you can put inside these wraps are mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, snow peas, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and scrambled eggs.

This is a wonderful dish, so tasty and easy to make… I used to order a very similar dish from a local Chinese restaurant, but now that I know how to prepare it I’ll be making it at home all the time!

You can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, etc) or mushrooms… they all work great with this recipe.
