These fusion-style tacos are packed with ground beef simmered in bulgogi sauce—a Korean-style savory-sweet blend of soy sauce and sesame oil. You’ll load it into warm flour tortillas, top with bright, tangy cabbage-cilantro slaw, and marvel at how seven simple ingredients can come together for a delicious meal in just 15 minutes. Wow!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

PREP
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

MAKE SLAW
2
  • 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.

COOK FILLING
3
  • 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.

FINISH & SERVE
4
  • 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.

These are great. But I wish you could have the option of corn tortillas. My family does not like flour tortillas. And corn is healthier.

Could have used a sauce. With the ground turkey it was a bit dry.

This needed either some avocado slices or maybe cucumber slices added to it, it was a bit boring
