Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, ponzu, half the cilantro, ⅛ tsp sugar (¼ tsp for 4 servings), and as much lime juice as you like (be sure to save a squeeze for the next step!). Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Set aside, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Carefully drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add bulgogi sauce and cook, stirring, until beef is coated and sauce is warmed through, 30-60 seconds.
Turn off heat; stir in a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
Divide tortillas between plates; fill with beef, slaw (draining first), and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was my all time favorite. We love bulgogi and we loved the coleslaw mix. What a fun and different dish and it was so easy and quick to make. Can't wait to order this again
The bulgogi sauce is really yummy and the coleslaw mix made these tacos super bright and fresh. Easy to warm up and put back together for leftovers too!
Super easy to make, if you add a couple of milliliters of red wine, it elevates the savory flavors of the bulgogi sauce just that much more
Had these for lunch today. Has not had a taco like this before. Loved the flavor of the meat and the slaw. Will get these again.
My family loved (really loved) these tacos! A truly unique twist on a weekly family favorite. Even our picky eater cleared her plate.
Really liked the crunchy cabbage on these tacos a good combo!
The cole slaw is the perfect pairing for this taco!!!
I would have given it 3 stars, but that wasn't an option. I'm familiar with bulgogi having traveled to South Korea, but this was odd to me - the thick tortillas with the asian slaw and the sweet meat. There was not quite enough meat for 6 tortillas, the small lime, which was starting to turn bad, was not enough for the recipe.
Taste was spot on. Could have used more meat in the tacos.
I would have liked more cilantro in the package and the bulgogi sauce was not as authentic as I had hoped. A bit bland. I will add sriracha the next time I have the bulgogi sauce.
