Method
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with black pepper over medium heat. Break up the meat as it cooks until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and Chinese 5 spice, and cook for another minute. Add the tamari and sweet Thai chili sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce coats the beef, 3-5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the chopped green onions. Remove from heat.
- Warm one tortilla at a time in the microwave for 15 seconds. Spoon the beef mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top with cucumber, cilantro, basil, remaining green onion, and peanuts. Fold the tortilla over the filling, then fold the sides and ends of the tortilla over the filling and roll forward. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve warm with extra soy sauce, chili paste, and toasted sesame oil for dipping. To make this a dinner, serve with rice on the side.
Notes
This recipe was inspired by a trip to a night market in Bangkok. The combination of fresh basil, savory beef, and a hint of spice creates a delightful flavor experience. Feel free to adjust the chili sauce and Chinese 5 spice to your preference.
