Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
¼ cup honey
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons water
-
4 large flour tortillas
-
1 cup shredded lettuce
-
1 medium carrot, julienned
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Heat over medium heat until simmering, stirring occasionally.
-
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Slowly whisk into the simmering sauce and cook 2–3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook 5–6 minutes until lightly browned and fully cooked. Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken and stir to coat, cooking another 2 minutes.
-
Prepare vegetables: shred lettuce, julienne carrot, thinly slice bell pepper and cucumber, chop green onions. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat 2–3 minutes.
-
Lay out tortillas. Layer lettuce, carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions in the center. Add teriyaki chicken and drizzle any extra sauce. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
-
Fold sides of tortilla over filling, then roll from bottom to top to form a wrap. Use a toothpick if needed.
-
Slice wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Adjust honey to taste for sweetness.
-
Store leftover wraps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping them tightly wrapped.
-
Tortillas can be warmed in a dry skillet or oven to prevent cracking.
-
For a lighter version, use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps.
