  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ small purple cabbage shredded
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves

Sriracha Crema:

  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Korean Ground Beef:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1- inch knob fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound ground beef

For serving:

  • Small flour tortillas
  • Kimchi
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Fresh jalapeno slices
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

Cilantro-Lime Slaw

  • In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, sesame oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix in cabbage, red onion, and cilantro. Set aside for serving.

Sriracha Crema

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sriracha aioli ingredients. Set aside for serving.

Korean Ground Beef

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all Korean Ground Beef ingredients, except for ground beef, to make the Korean sauce.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain grease if necessary. Reduce heat to medium and pour Korean sauce over ground beef. Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring a few times, until sauce is slightly thickened and incorporated into the beef.
