Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; grill 12 minutes or until chicken is done, turning once. Let stand 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Divide chicken evenly among lettuce leaves; top each lettuce leaf with 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon sprouts, and about 1 teaspoon reserved oil mixture. Serve with lime wedges. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 wraps and 2 lime wedges)

I'd prob get rid of the canola and sesame oil abd experiment but its a good base.

I'd do it with olive oil. Actually, I'm going to do it with olive oil. Thanks for sharing, sounds delicious.

The sesame oil adds a lot of flavor, especially if you get the real asain stuff. It doesn't take much to add tons of flavor.

They are both healthy fats, so, IMO, no reason to get rid of them.
