Description

Crispy Korean BBQ Chicken Tacos are a fusion of flavors featuring tender marinated chicken, spicy slaw, and fresh toppings, all wrapped in a soft tortilla.


Ingredients

– 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

– 1/2 cup Korean BBQ sauce

– 1 tsp sesame oil

– 1 tsp garlic powder

– 1 tsp ginger powder

– 8 small corn tortillas

– 1 cup cabbage, shredded

– 1/2 cup carrots, shredded

– 1/4 cup mayonnaise

– 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)

– Fresh cilantro, for garnish

– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

1.

2. 1. In a bowl, mix Korean BBQ sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder.

3. 2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.

4. 3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

5. 4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, and Sriracha in a bowl. Adjust the spice level to your preference.

6. 5. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

7. 6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

8. 7. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, topping with spicy slaw, and garnishing with fresh cilantro.

9. 8. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
