Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice radishes.
In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt (1 tsp sugar and 2 tsp salt for 4 servings); stir until dissolved. Add carrots and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add beef* and a pinch of salt; season with pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until beef is almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Carefully drain any excess grease from pan.
In a small bowl, combine chili sauce and mayonnaise.
Fluff rice with a fork.
Serve beef, rice, tortillas, pickled carrots (draining first), radishes, firecracker sauce, peanut-scallion topping, and Sriracha family style and let everyone build their own tacos!

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the unique blend of flavors, though some found the beef too sweet; adjusting hoisin and adding soy sauce can balance it.
- Ease of prep: While some enjoyed the assembly, others felt there were too many components and steps, making it time-consuming.
- Suggestions: Consider pickling both carrots and radishes; try as a rice bowl or sandwich instead of tacos for a simpler meal.
- Portions: Some found it very filling with plenty of toppings, while others wanted more meat and fewer carbs.
- Sauce: The firecracker sauce was a hit, but a few found it too thick; try thinning with water for preferred consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
This is the first Hello Fresh order I have made and the instructions were easy to understand and follow. It was so nice to see all the colors in this meal. I was delighted by the flavor combination of everything. Even my picky teenage eaters loved this recipe!!! I am excited to try more!
Easy and quick to make and delicious. I cooked the beef with about half of the added sauces to reduce sodium and it still seemed very tasty.
Love the combination of flavors. I would never think to put these ingredients together. I'm so glad I tried this and hope to see it as an option in the future!
Surprisingly delicious! The radish with the extra crunch made it very flavorful. Loved the carrots recipe. Will order again!
One of the most flavorful meals we've had. And surprisingly easy to prepare. We will get it again for sure
Yummy! Left off the spicier items for those who don't like too much spiciness, and they liked it too. Would order this one again.
AMAZING!!!! Super filling, fun to cook, and something I would have never thought to make! Always love trying new things♥️
I bought some shrimp and used some of the sauces to cook with it to give It the same taste as the ground beef. It was delicious
The carrots were a very strong miss for us in this meal. We ended up not using them after having them on one taco each. Not sure if they were just off, or if they truly didn't mesh well.
Could use more meat mixture. Photo makes it look like there's more than there really is in just one taco.
