1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and caramelized. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Slice the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a few slices of chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
