Description

These chicken thigh bulgogi tacos topped with quick-pickled cucumber, red cabbage slaw, and sriracha cream are surprisingly easy to whip up.

Ingredients

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Persian cucumbers, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package shredded red cabbage
4 scallions, sliced, whites and greens separated
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup Korean bulgogi sauce
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon water
1/2 tablespoon sriracha sauce, or to taste
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas, or more as needed

Directions

1 Mix 3 tablespoons vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Mix in cucumbers.
2 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and white parts of scallions to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with salt and pepper and remaining vinegar.
3 Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet until juices run clear, 4 to 7 minutes. Stir in sauce; cook until reduced, about 2 minutes more.
4 Mix sour cream, water, and sriracha sauce together. Spread some of the mixture over each tortilla. Top with bulgogi chicken, cucumbers, cabbage, and green parts of scallions.
