Ingredients:

• 1 16-ounce can whole, unpitted purple plums, drained

• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce

• 6 7- to 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
• 2 cups packaged shredded broccoli (broccoli slaw mix) or packaged shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
• Makes 6 servings.

Unpit plums and blend them until smooth. Transfer plums to a 3 1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker. Stir in vegetable juice, hoisin sauce, tapioca, ginger root, and five-spice powder.

Cut chicken into strips, and stir into crockery cooker. If you have enough time cook it for 4 hours on low-heat setting, otherwise cook it for 2 hours on high-heat setting. Remove chicken from cooker, reserving juices. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each warm tortilla just below the center. Drizzle with the reserved juices. Top each with 1/3 cup shredded slaw mix. Roll up tortilla.
