Ingredients
For the Chicken and Sauce:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water to thicken
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup sliced cucumber or bell peppers
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Optional Toppings or Dips:
- Spicy mayo or sriracha drizzle
- Extra teriyaki sauce for dipping
- Fresh cilantro or lime wedges
Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Cut chicken into thin strips. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and toss until fully coated.
- Prepare the Wrap Fillings:
- Warm tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave for easier folding. Lay out the lettuce, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices.
- Assemble the Wrap:
- Spoon the teriyaki chicken over the veggies. Add a drizzle of spicy mayo or extra sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and top with green onions. Fold the sides in, roll tightly, and slice in half.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with a side of extra teriyaki sauce, or wrap tightly in foil for a meal on the go.
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or chili flakes to the teriyaki sauce for heat.
- Low-Carb Version: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
- Make Ahead: Cook the chicken and store it separately; assemble wraps just before serving.
- Extra Freshness: Add pineapple chunks or avocado for a tropical twist.
