01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
04 - 1 tablespoon honey
05 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
10 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced

→ Wraps

11 - 4 large flour tortillas
12 - 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
15 - 2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced
16 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

# Step-by-Step Directions:

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 stir frequently, cooking 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. Stir in toasted sesame seeds and scallions, then remove from heat.
03 - Lay tortillas flat. On one half of each tortilla, evenly sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Top with a generous portion of the chicken mixture, then scatter additional scallions and a pinch of sesame seeds.
04 - Fold each tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling.
05 - Preheat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap with softened butter.
06 - Grill each wrap 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until wraps are golden brown and cheese is melted.
07 - Remove from heat, allow wraps to rest for one minute, then slice and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It bridges two comfort foods in a way that feels unexpectedly natural and deeply satisfying.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 40 minutes, so weeknight dinners suddenly feel fancy without the fuss.
  • One bite gives you crispy, cheesy, savory, and slightly sweet all at once.
02 -
  • Don't skip the marinating step, even though 15 minutes seems short, those flavors make all the difference between good and memorable.
  • Keep your heat at medium, not medium-high for grilling the wraps, because high heat will burn the butter on the outside before the cheese has a chance to properly melt inside.
  • Let the chicken cool slightly before assembling, otherwise the residual heat can make your cheese separate instead of melt into that creamy, gooey texture you're after.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before using, it completely changes their flavor from subtle to bold and nutty.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or well-seasoned grill pan instead of nonstick if you have one, the better heat retention creates a crispier exterior on your wraps.
