Ingredients
  

For the Teriyaki Chicken
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce additional, if needed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
For the Wraps and Assembly
  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers sliced (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or green onions chopped (for garnish)
Optional additions
  • Sriracha or other chili sauce for a spicy kick

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Dry skillet (for warming tortillas)
  • Microwave (optional, for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey or brown sugar (if using). Toss to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor.

  2. Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer, discarding any excess marinade. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. If the sauce seems to be reducing too quickly, you can add a tablespoon or two of water or more teriyaki sauce.

  3. Gently warm your tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. This makes them easier to roll.

  4. Lay out a warmed tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the cooked teriyaki chicken onto the center of the tortilla.

  6. Drizzle with a little extra teriyaki sauce if desired, or add a swirl of Sriracha for a touch of heat.
