food:korean_taco_meat

A spicy tangy taco burrito mix that works with any kind of ground meat. It's packed with flavor, so you only need a bit. Also works great for nachos and quesadillas.

I have also used leftovers as a great base for a shepherds pie.

Tools

  • A large frying pan

Ingredients

  • Your ground meat of choice, I have made this with beef, pork, sausage, and turkey
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of Korean Gochujang paste
  • 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper powder. The spicy smoky kind.
  • 2 teaspoons adobo spice mix or tex-mex spice mix.
  • A teaspoon of chopped garlic
  • A splash of balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Fry the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Don't turn it over at the start, let it get nice and crispy on once side before mixing it up.
  • Add the spices and soy sauce and mix until the meat is completely cooked.
  • Add the gochujang paste and mix thouroughly, it will immediately stick to the pan and become sticky.
  • Turn off the heat, deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and serve.

Pairs well with Quick Pickled Red Onions

Variants

  • I will sometimes add a can of black beans, with most of the liquid drained right before adding the gochujang.
