Preparation
1
Toast sesame seeds

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 2-4 min, stirring often, until fragrant. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate. 

2
Make slaw

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
  • Cut radishes into 1/4-inch half-moons. 
  • To a medium bowl, add mayo, rice wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, half the soy sauce and half the sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Add coleslaw mix and radishes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. 

3
Make glaze and cook chicken

  • To another medium bowl, add Honey-Garlic Sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining sesame oil and gochujang. Whisk to combine. Set aside. 
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Heat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry for 6-7 min on one side until golden. Flip, then cover and continue cooking for 6-7 min, until cooked through.** 
  • Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Carefully wipe out the pan.

4
Pan-fry falafel

  • Reheat the pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Lightly smash falafel into smaller pieces, then pan-fry for 4-8 min, tossing occasionally, until browned.
  • Remove from heat, add spicy-sweet glaze, then toss to coat. 

5
Warm tortillas

  • Wrap tortillas in paper towels.
  • Microwave for 1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas.)

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide tortillas between plates. 
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Top tortillas with coleslaw, chicken and saucy falafel.
  • Sprinkle green onions and any remaining sesame seeds over top. 

7
Modularity step (under step 3)

If you've opted to add chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry for 6-7 min on one side until golden. Flip, then cover and continue cooking for 6-7 min, until cooked through.** Use the same pan to cook falafel in step 4.

Modularity step (under step 6)
