Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Chop cilantro and stir into the slaw. Set aside.
- Slice the long green pepper into thin strips.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper strips and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the sous vide chopped chicken to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.
- 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.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble tacos: Divide the chicken and pepper mixture among the tortillas. Top with the tangy slaw, drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with crispy fried onions. Serve immediately.
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.
