Low-Fat Teriyaki Vegetarian Beef Wraps

Kumquat the Cat's friend's Note:

Made this recipe as part of the 2006 Zaar World Tour challenge! Had to come up with a low-fat sandwich so I selected peacefulnightdove's Teriyaki Beef Wraps. Make her recipe if you are not concerned about fat intake, or make mine if you are. Am posting this in response to a request. Makes a terrific sandwich, and an easy dinner. Cooking time does not include marinating time. Peacefulnightdove recommended 6-8 hours or overnight, but you can probably get away with a few minutes like I did if you use a vegetarian beef substitute.

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 cups coleslaw mix
• 4 scallions (trimmed to diameter of tortilla) (optional)
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons light sesame oil
• ¾ teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 lb vegetarian beef strips (vegetarian, St. Ives or other brand)
• ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
• 4 flour tortillas

Directions:

1. In bowl, toss beef strips with teriyaki sauce, cover and marinate.
2. Meanwhile, in medium bowl combine first 6 ingredients, mix well and set aside.
3. Heat vegetable oil in non-stick skillet. Add beef strips and stir fry over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
4. Place a fourth of the meat down center of each tortilla.
5. Top each with a fourth of cole slaw mixture and a scallion, if using.
6. Roll up and enjoy with more teriyaki sauce if desired.
