Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1–3 teaspoons Chinese 5 spice
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/4 cup Thai chili sauce
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
4 Persian cucumbers, chopped
2 cups cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup Thai basil, chopped
1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
8–10 flour tortillas, warmed
Chili paste and toasted sesame oil for serving

Instructions

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Add garlic, ginger, and Chinese 5 spice to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tamari and Thai chili sauce, simmering for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and stir in the green onions, cilantro, and fresh Thai basil.
Lay out warmed tortillas and divide the beef mixture among them.
Top with chopped cucumbers and roasted peanuts.
Roll the tortillas tightly and drizzle with sesame oil and chili paste to taste before serving.

Notes

Swap ground beef for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version. Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free meal. Ensure you do not overcook the herbs to keep the flavor fresh and vibrant.
