MOO SHU CHICKEN WITH MANDARIN PANCAKES
This is a decidedly American version of moo shu chicken, but fast to make! The Mandarin pancakes, also called moo shu shells, can be found in almost any Asian market, but feel free to use flour tortillas. Keep in mind the moo shu shells are much thinner than a typical flour tortilla, and have a different (pasta-like) taste.
