03 - 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
04 - 1 tablespoon honey
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil

11 - 4 large flour tortillas

14 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
15 - 2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
16 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

# How to Make:

01 - Combine soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Add chicken slices and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and caramelized. Stir in sesame seeds and scallions, then remove from heat.
03 - Lay flour tortillas flat. On one half of each, evenly distribute mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Top with a generous portion of the chicken mixture, then scatter additional scallions and sesame seeds.
04 - Fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling.
05 - Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the exterior of each wrap with softened butter.
06 - Grill each wrap for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
07 - Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweet and spicy Korean BBQ filling balances perfectly with mild melty cheese for an addictive flavor profile
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a fusion restaurant
02 -
  • Dont crowd the pan when cooking the chicken or it will steam instead of caramelize
  • The wrap needs at least 2 minutes per side to get properly crispy, rushing this step leaves you with a soggy tortilla
03 -
  • Low and slow is better than high and fast, let the chicken develop those dark caramelized spots
  • A press weight like a cast iron skillet helps the tortilla make full contact with the pan
