Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, mixing well to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and heated through. Meanwhile, prepare the kimchi slaw by combining 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a bowl.

Toss to mix thoroughly. To assemble the tacos, warm 4 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then top with the kimchi slaw. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
