Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce and marinate for at least 15 minutes.

- Bring the homemade teriyaki sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (5-7 minutes).
- If using homemade teriyaki sauce, pour any remaining sauce into the skillet during the last minute of cooking and let it thicken.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread mayonnaise or sriracha mayo over the tortilla.
- Add shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, and red onion.
- Top with the cooked teriyaki chicken.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Cut the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Marinating the chicken enhances the flavor. Warming the tortillas prevents tearing. Avoid overfilling the wraps. Customize with your favorite toppings like avocado, bell peppers, or cucumbers. For a spicy kick, add sriracha to the teriyaki sauce. Leftover teriyaki chicken can be added to salads, rice bowls, or pizza.
