Ingredients
Chicken
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ cup Korean BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Spicy Mayo
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Whisk together the Korean BBQ sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger in a bowl until well combined to create a flavorful marinade and glaze for the chicken.
- Marinate the chicken: Toss the sliced chicken thighs with half of the prepared sauce, ensuring the meat is evenly coated to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Brush with remaining sauce: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the remaining Korean BBQ sauce to intensify the flavor and glaze the meat.
- Prepare the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice to create a creamy, spicy sauce that adds a kick to the wraps.
- Warm the tortillas: Gently heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat and layer with shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, cooked Korean BBQ chicken, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy mayo.
- Roll and serve: Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Serve the Korean BBQ Chicken Wraps immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Add kimchi for an authentic Korean-inspired flavor and extra tanginess.
- Serve the wraps with steamed rice or edamame for a more filling meal.
- Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it convenient for quick meals later.
