Chicken Con d' Fusion

From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. The "confusion" comes because the chicken does not know if it is English, Chinese or Mexican. So we fuse the flavors together and work for world peace!

2 skinned and boned chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 green onions, sliced
1-2 sprigs fresh cilantro, snipped (corriander leaves)

2 tablespoons oil (peanut or grapeseed)
6-9 flour tortillas
1-2 tablespoons Chinese plum sauce or salsa as desired
fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

With your perfectly sharp Santuko or French chefs knife, slice the chicken into thin long slivers. In a batter bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, sherry, Worcestershire, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onions and cilantro and stir in the sliced chicken. Marinate about 30 minutes. In wok or stir fry pan, heat the oil and then quickly add the chicken mixture. Cook and stir for about 3-4 minutes or until chicken is done. Place the tortillas on a plate, cover with waxed paper and microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Brush or spread each tortilla with a very thin layer of sauce. Place portions of the chicken mixture in the center of flour tortillas and roll up. Garnish and serve as they are, or slice into portions.
