Sesame Beef Tacos

with Quick-Pickled Veggies and Spicy Crema

Instead of going the traditional route with these tacos, we decided to mix things up with a Korean-style sesame beef filling. The filling gets a kick from *gochugaru*—chili flakes traditionally used in dishes like kimchi and bulgogi. It’s an unconventional choice, perhaps, but one that lives up to the maxim that everything tastes better in a tortilla.

Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions. Slice cucumber and radishes into thin rounds. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; discard stems.

Pickle Veggies
2

In a medium bowl, toss together cucumber, radishes, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside until rest of meal is ready.

Make Chili Crema
3

In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and a few chili flakes (to taste— start with a pinch and go up from there, saving a little for the filling). Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Filling
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallions and cabbage. Cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add beef, garlic powder, and 1 tsp sugar, breaking meat into pieces. Cook, tossing, until beef is no longer pink, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and up to ½ tsp more sugar to taste. Stir in 1 TBSP soy sauce, 1 tsp sriracha (we sent more soy sauce and sriracha), sesame oil, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste.

Warm Tortillas
5

While filling cooks, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm, about 30 seconds.

Plate and Serve
6

Spread a bit of chili crema on each tortilla, then top with filling, a small amount of pickled veggies, cilantro, remaining sriracha (to taste), and any remaining chili flakes, if desired. Serve with remaining pickled veggies on the side.
