A turkey wrap could be dull. This one's anything but. Pears and Asian seasonings bring perfection to this warm wrap. Sweet and savory make it delicious.
Ingredients
2 qt. rice, uncooked
1 1⁄2 cans Pacific Northwest pear slices (#10 cans), syrup reserved
1 qt. cider vinegar
1⁄2 cup tomato paste
1⁄2 cup soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. powdered ginger (optional)
2⁄3 cup vegetable oil
8 lb. chicken or turkey breasts, cut into 1⁄8-in. strips
4 tsp. garlic powder
4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
3 qt. canned cut green beans

1⁄2 cup water
50 flour tortillas
Steps
1. Cook rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
2. In saucepan, mix reserved syrup, vinegar, tomato paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly; reserve.
