Skip the fast food joint and make this healthier and tastier version at home.

For 4 Servings you will need:

4 10- or 11-inch flour tortilla

41 large leaves romaine lettuce, crunchy stem removed

4 half-breasts teriyaki-grilled chicken or any grilled chicken, shredded

1 1/3 cup cooked rice

1 cup grated carrot

4 green onions, white and 2-inches of green part only, thinly sliced

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

Instructions:

1. Soften the tortillas for easy rolling by warming it in a microwave oven on high heat for 10 seconds. Alternatively, place the tortilla in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook one side until warm, about 15 seconds, then flip and cook the other side.
2. Line the warmed tortilla with the lettuce leaf. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, rice, carrot, and green onion.
3. Add the hoisin and toss to mix well.
4. Arrange the chicken in a 2-by-5-inch rectangle on the lower half of the tortilla.
5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, towards the center, over the filling. Now fold the bottom edge of the tortilla towards the center, up and over the filling, and continue gently rolling to completely wrap the tortilla around the filling.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and it’s ready for the lunch box.
7. Refrigerate until ready to eat. If desired, warm the wrap in a microwave oven for 1 to 2 minutes.
