General Tso’s Tacos

Why fuse together classic Chinese American food into tacos? Because I can, that’s why. You know what this is. Spicy, sticky chicken in a taco. Yeah, its really that good. In 20 minutes. Bonus points if you have an air fryer; try tossing the chicken in 1/2 cup of cornstarch and air frying for 15 minutes for an extra crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 Pounds Boneless chicken
• 1/4 Cup gochujang (See below for substitution ideas)
• 1/4 Cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 Cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Honey
• 2 Tablespoons Mirin
• 3 Cloves Garlic
• 2 Tablespoons corn starch
• 1 Bunch Scallion
• 2 Tablespoons Ginger
• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 Cups broccoli slaw mix

Instructions

• Mince garlic and ginger. Combine with gojuchang, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, and corn starch into saucepot on low heat to just a simmer.
• Cube chicken into taco sized chunks, season with salt and pepper. In a large pan over medium high heat, spray with non stick, and saute chicken until cooked and 165 deg F, ~5-7 minutes depending on size.
• As chicken cooks, dress slaw with salt, pepper, and a splash of rice wine vinegar. Slice scallion, set aside.
• When chicken is cooked, immediately toss into warm sauce to coat. Assemble tacos, garnishing with extra sauce, scallion, and sesame seeds.

Notes

No gochujang or mirin? No problem; combine 1/4 cup sriracha, 2 extra tablespoons of honey, and a 1/4 cup of beer as a direct substitute for both!
