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

11 - 4 large flour tortillas
12 - 1 ½ 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

# 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 cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes until fully cooked and caramelized. Stir in toasted sesame seeds and scallions, then remove from heat.
03 - Place tortillas flat. On one half of each, evenly distribute mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then top with a generous portion of the chicken mixture. Scatter additional scallions and a pinch of sesame seeds over filling.
04 - Fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling.
05 - Preheat a clean skillet or grill pan to medium. 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 wraps from heat, allow resting for 1 minute, then slice and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It bridges the gap between comfort food and bold flavors, so everyone at the table feels like they're eating something special.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than you'd expect, making weeknight dinners feel less like a chore and more like a small victory.
02 -
  • Don't skip the marinating step, even if you're rushed, those fifteen minutes transform ordinary chicken into something that tastes like it's been simmering all day.
  • Keep your heat at medium, not high, because rushing the grill leads to burnt butter and cold cheese in the center, a disappointment you only need once.
03 -
  • Slice your chicken breasts thin by laying them flat and using a sharp knife to cut them in half horizontally, this small act of prep changes everything about how quickly they cook and how tender they become.
  • Save a little of the marinade before adding the chicken and brush it on the wrap before grilling for an extra layer of flavor that most people won't expect.
