Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Beef Bulgogi for the taco filling
  • 8 pieces taco-size flour tortillas for wrapping
  • 2 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 piece Asian pear chopped
  • 1 piece mango chopped
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 2 pieces green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice for the slaw
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise for the sauce
  • 1/4 cup sour cream may substitute Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for the sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons Gochujang to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Grill pan or skillet
  • Tongs
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Start by marinating the beef for the bulgogi. In a mixing bowl, combine your beef bulgogi recipe ingredients and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In another mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced red cabbage, chopped Asian pear, chopped mango, chopped cilantro, and green onions. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lime juice over the mixture and toss to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and Gochujang. Adjust the Gochujang to your spice preference.
  4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of cooked beef bulgogi on each tortilla. Top with a scoop of the Asian pear mango slaw and drizzle with the creamy sauce.
  7. Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the beef the night before for enhanced flavor.
  • Try adding jalapeƱos for a spicy kick!
  • Use seasonal fruits like peaches or strawberries for variation.
