Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo. Set aside.

  5. Add the sous vide chopped chicken to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.
  6. Pour the sweet soy glaze over the chicken and peppers. Stir to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze is sticky and the chicken is heated through.

Recipe Tips

For extra heat, add more sriracha to the mayo or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

If you can’t find sweet soy glaze, substitute with a mix of 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame for a lightly charred flavor.

FAQ

Can I use a different protein?

How do I store leftovers?

Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat chicken and peppers in a skillet and assemble tacos fresh.
