Instructions
1

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

2

Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.

3

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and the sauce is slightly thickened.

4

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste).

5

Mix well to create the spicy kimchi slaw. Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

6

To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the bulgogi-style beef on each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the spicy kimchi slaw.

7

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your unique fusion tacos!
