Sweet Potato Hoisin Glazed Korean Pancakes



 








This is a cross between a tortilla and a Korean Pancake.  Instead of making a Korean pancake mix, I used tortillas as the base.  I know it is an easy lazy way to go.  But it works.

Green onions characteristic of Korean pancakes together with mashed cooked sweet potatoes comprised the filling. The Hoisin sauce gives this Korean pancake/tortilla its sweet spicy flavor that sparks one’s tastebuds.  It glazes the tortilla inside and outside.

Crunchiness is achieved by using the air fryer or oven. 

This is a great appetizer or dish with a salad. My Plant Based Pittsburgh group members loved it during our delightful potluck last night which featured healthy delicious dishes.  See photos below.
