Cooking Instructions

20 min
  1. 1

    Make the teriyaki sauce. In a medium saucepan heat bring to boil the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.

  2. 2

    Once it is boiling, bring down the heat to simmer and add the cornstarch and water. Cook until it thickens, stirring often. About 4-5 minutes. Stir in the sesame seeds.

  3. 3

    Make the tacos. In a pan over medium heat drizzle a little olive oil and cook the chicken, onion, and the red bell pepper until the chicken is cooked through. About 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for additional 3 - 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the teriyaki sauce 1/4 cup at a time so you can control the flavor. Keep adding until everything is coated.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile make the sriracha aioli. In a small bowl combine the sour cream and sriracha. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp water at a time and whisk well until it reaches drizzling consistency.

  6. 6

    Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. Arrange the lettuce on top of the tortillas, then the chicken, and top with green onion and sriracha aioli. Enjoy!
