Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken, turkey, or pork Choose your favorite!
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce This is the savory backbone of our filling.
  • 1 tablespoon chili crisp Get ready for a little kick and amazing texture! This is a flavor powerhouse.
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste Fresh garlic flavor, but so much easier. If you don't have paste, you can use 2 cloves of garlic, finely grated.
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste That warm, zesty zing! If you don't have paste, use about a 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated.
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage and carrot mix You can buy this pre-shredded from the grocery store to save even more time, or shred your own!
  • 6 8 small flour tortillas Soft, warm tortillas are the perfect vessel.
  • 2 3 avocado oil or toasted sesame oil Avocado oil has a high smoke point, and toasted sesame oil adds an extra layer of nutty flavor.

Instructions
 

  • Grab a bowl and toss in your ground meat. Add the soy sauce, chili crisp, garlic paste, and ginger paste. Get in there with your hands or a spoon and mix it all up until everything is beautifully combined.

  • Heat 1-2 tablespoons of your chosen oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's shimmering, add the meat mixture. Cook it, breaking it up with your spoon as it goes, until it's nicely browned and cooked through. Carefully drain off any excess grease – we want flavor, not fat!

  • Toss in that shredded cabbage and carrot mix. Stir it into the meat and let it cook for just about 1-2 minutes. We want them to soften up just a little bit, keeping some of that delightful crunch.

  • While your meat mixture is doing its thing, warm your tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet, in the microwave (wrapped in a damp paper towel!), or even briefly in the oven. Just get them warm and pliable.

  • Spoon that glorious meat and veggie mixture into each of your warm tortillas.
  • Now for the best part – add your favorite toppings! Pile on some fresh cabbage and carrots for crunch, a sprinkle of cilantro or green onion for brightness, a dollop of extra chili crisp for that satisfying heat, and a drizzle of gochujang sauce if you like it extra zesty.

Notes

Don't overcook the veggies, drain the grease well, prep ahead, and taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
