Japanese Yakitori Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

• Chicken breast (1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
• Mirin (2 tablespoons)
• Sake (2 tablespoons)
• Brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Vegetable oil (1 tablespoon, plus more for brushing)
• Tortillas (4 large, soft tortillas)
• Bell peppers (1 cup, sliced (any color))
• Red onion (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
• Green onions (1/4 cup, sliced)
• Sesame seeds (2 tablespoons, toasted)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Lightly brush them with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
6. Carefully remove the chicken from the skewers and set aside.
7. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a pan until they are pliable.
8. To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with several slices of grilled chicken, bell peppers, and red onion.
9. Drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the filling for an added burst of flavor.
10. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
11. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to encase the delicious ingredients.
12. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
13. Serve the Yakitori Chicken Wraps warm, and enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors!
