Instructions

• Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
• Heat your tortillas on a dry pan for about a minute on each side until they get a little crispy. Not too crispy, just a light crunch!
• Chop up your kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Trust me, this makes it way easier to eat!
• Slice the grilled chicken or tofu into thin strips. Make sure they’re bite-sized too, so you don’t end up pulling half of it out on the first bite!
• Step 2: Assemble the Tacos
• Lay your tortillas flat and start by placing a layer of grilled chicken (or tofu) on each one. Don’t overload it—just enough for every bite to have some!
• Add a scoop of chopped kimchi on top of the chicken. This is where the spicy, tangy magic happens.
• Drizzle some Sriracha mayo over the top. It’s not just for looks—it adds a creamy, spicy kick that brings everything together.
• Step 3: Garnish and Serve
• Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on each taco for that fresh, herby vibe.
• Squeeze a little lime juice over the top right before serving. It brightens up the flavors and adds a zesty punch.

Notes

Tips for Success

• Adjust the spice level by adding more or less Sriracha to your mayo.
• Want a healthier twist? Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps to make these even lighter and low-carb.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different proteins. Grilled shrimp or beef works great, too!
