Moo Shu Vegetable Roll-Ups

Ingredients :

4  whole Wheat Tortillas -- 10-inch diameter
2  teaspoons  Canola oil
4 large  Eggs -- beaten
1/4  pound  Shiitake Mushrooms -- stems removed, thinly sliced
4  cups  shredded Coleslaw mix
1  cup  shredded Carrots
3  Scallions -- thinly sliced
2  tablespoons  light Teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup  chopped unsalted Peanuts
1/4 cup  Hoisin Sauce

Preparation Method :

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to heat through, for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the eggs are scrambled, but still moist. Turn the eggs out onto a plate and set aside.

3. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. When hot, add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the coleslaw mix and carrots. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Stir in the scallions and teriyaki sauce and cook for 1 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the peanuts and reserved eggs.

4. To serve, spread some of the hoisin sauce on the center of the tortillas. Top with the vegetable mixture and roll up.
