Steps:

• Heat the peanut and sesame oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet on medium.

• Immediately add the onions, shredded cabbage mix and mushrooms to the skillet.
• Raise the heat to high and cook to soften vegetables, stirring from time to time.
• Meanwhile, cut the chicken through its width (the short way) into 1/4 inch wide strips, adding strips to the skillet as you slice.
• Mix the cornstarch into the sherry and add it to the skillet along with the soy sauce and garlic.
• Stir well.
• Add the broccoli slaw and carrots (if desired) and stir.
• Continue to stir fry, stirring frequently, about 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
• Just before serving, put the tortillas on a plate and microwave, uncovered, 1 minute 30 seconds to warm through.
• To serve, spread hoisin sauce to taste on each tortilla (1/2 to 1 tsp) and spread 1/2 cup filing on each tortilla.
• Roll up, burrito style.
• Serve at once.
