Instructions
1

In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste), and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.

2

Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated ground beef.

3

Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through. While the beef is cooking, prepare the kimchi slaw by mixing 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime in a bowl.

4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of sriracha, and a pinch of salt to create a spicy dressing.

5

Once the beef is cooked, warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

6

To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the cooked beef on each tortilla, top with the kimchi slaw, and drizzle with the spicy dressing.

7

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