CASHEW CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
This is from a great cookbook called "Breast Wishes" which is put together by some ladies from a small town to raise money for breast cancer research! They even test all their recipes before they put them in! Haven't hit a bad one yet! I've even subbed in peanuts for the cashews when I was out - still yummy!

Steps:
- Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll each dinner roll into an 8 inch circle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for about 20 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and mustard. Fold in the cashews, green onions, half of the oranges and the cabbage and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove wrap from flattened rolls and brush with olive oil. Cook on a grill heated to medium heat for about 1 minute on each side. Remove from grill and cool slightly. Divide chicken mixture evenly between the wraps and garnish with remaining oranges.
Tips:
- To make the cashew chicken wraps even more flavorful, use a variety of vegetables. Some good options include shredded carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- For a crispy wrap, use a large flour tortilla and fold it in half before filling it. This will help to keep the wrap from getting soggy.
- If you don't have any hoisin sauce, you can substitute a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
- To make the cashew chicken wraps ahead of time, cook the chicken and vegetables and store them in separate containers in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply assemble the wraps and enjoy.
