Instructions

Begin by marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

While the beef is cooking, prepare the spicy kimchi salsa by mixing chopped kimchi, diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

For the avocado crema, blend ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Once the beef is cooked, slice it thinly against the grain.

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of beef on each tortilla, top with the spicy kimchi salsa, and drizzle with avocado crema.

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
