Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken Can substitute with turkey
  • 1 medium Eggplant Diced
  • 1 cup Bell Pepper Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Minced

Method
 

Prepare the Eggplant
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced eggplant with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until tender.

  2. Add the roasted eggplant and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
  4. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through.
Assemble the Wraps
