Description

Spicy Korean BBQ Pork Tacos are a delicious fusion of Korean flavors and Mexican cuisine, featuring tender pork marinated in a spicy sauce, served in soft tortillas with fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork shoulder, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced pork to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated pork until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked pork on the tortillas and topping with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and green onions.
  6. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños as a topping.
  • These tacos can be made with chicken or beef as an alternative to pork.
  • Marinating the pork overnight enhances the flavor.
