Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add your ground beef along with a sprinkle of black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is well-browned and cooked through.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and Chinese 5 spice into the skillet with the beef. Sauté together for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the tamari and sweet Thai chili sauce, stirring to coat the beef mixture. Simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Warm each tortilla in the microwave for 15 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat and place a generous scoop of the beef mixture down the center. Add toppings like cucumber strips, cilantro, and basil.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Serve warm with dipping options like soy sauce.
