These ridiculously delicious Chinese-Korean inspired tacos are all the rage on social media, or at least what they say.
It’s basically a taco or tostada packed with egg roll filling and topped with a yummy sauce. Egg roll filling ingredients like ground meat, garlic, ginger, chili crisp, spring onion, cabbage, carrots, soy sauce are combined. A layer of this raw mixture is spread on a soft taco and cooked on a pan. Then topped with more slaw, AND the Gochujang sauce brings it all together. YUM!
We’ve made it a few times now with different inspirations. The classic Mexican flavors are super delicious, but we keep going back to Asian flavors.
The big bonus is, it comes together in under 30 minutes which is a big selling point for me specially weeknights.
Use this recipe as a canvas and make the tacos with whatever ingredients and flavors you enjoy. The filling and crisp taco tastes like a Chinesespring roll or egg roll. We love it these with Korean inspired Gochujang sauce! Hope you love it as much as we did.
