Ingredients
Scale
For the Mini Tacos:
- 6 jumbo tortillas
- 200 grams minced beef
- 2–3 spring onions, very finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili paste
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
For the Asian Slaw:
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3/4 cup finely shredded red cabbage
- 1/4 cup bean sprouts
- 1/3 medium carrot, julienned
Other:
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Mini Tacos: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced)/350°F. Lay 3 tortillas on top of each other and cut out 7 circles using a 2.5-3 inch round cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Fold each mini tortilla to form taco shapes and place in muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool before handling.
- Make the Korean Beef: In a bowl, mix together the beef ingredients. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and sauté, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and no moisture remains. Cook for 1 minute without stirring, allowing the beef to get crispy on the bottom.
- Make the Asian Slaw: In a small jar, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Shake well to mix. In a bowl, combine the cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrot, then pour the dressing over the slaw.
- Assemble the Tacos: Fill each taco shell with a bit of slaw and some beef mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
