Bulgogi Korean Tacos with Asian Pear Mango Slaw

These Korean tacos are a medley of explosive flavors and textures in each mouthwatering bite! They are loaded with juicy, caramelized Beef Bulgogi, topped with vibrant, refreshing Asian Pear Mango Slaw and drizzled with silky, cool Gochujang Crema.  The Beef marinade, Slaw and Crema can be made ahead of time for a dinner that comes together in under 15 minutes when it’s “go” time!

Notes

  • A Few Helpful tips and tricks:
  • Use flour tortillas. I love corn tortillas but they are too strong for this Korean Taco recipe.
  • Char tortillas. This is totally optional but readers often ask how I char my tortillas, so here you go! I simply place my tortillas directly over the flame of my gas stovetop for a few seconds and flip using tongs.
  • Asian pear substitute. Asian pears are more readily available in the fall and winter months (sometimes even Costco carries them), but I easily found mine at Sprouts in July. If you aren't sure if your store carries them, just ask!  If you can’t find Asian pears, you can substitute a sweet apple like Fuji or Bosc pear.
  • Where to Find Gochujang. I use Annie Chun’s Sweet and Spicy Gochujang Sauce located in the Asian section of my grocery store, but you can also easily buy it on Amazon.
  • How Cut a Mango.  If you're intimidated by selecting  or cutting mangos, check out this post for everything you ever wanted to know!
  • Prep ahead. Make your Crema and Slaw while your beef is marinating so your Korean tacos can come together in a flash.  Your pears will absorb some of the coloring of the purple cabbage, just FYI.
