#i absolutely love how well korean (honestly a lot of different asian) seasonings and flavor profiles pair with mexican foods and flavors.

i made korean tacos for dinner (no recipe just vibes + what i had in the fridge) and they were unbelievably delicious. my god.

#with a lil hazy ipa on the side!!!!!! #i forgot how EASY and GOOD tacos are to just have fun with. #for the curious: i picked up some stir fry beef at the store and while i chopped cilantro/onion/radish/cukes i let it sit in a combo of: #gochujang + fish sauce + rice vinegar (a dash) + garlic + chili powder + cumin + black pepper + salt + lime juice + onion powder #(just a bunch of stuff i had laying around - use what you have or can get) #then after the veggies were chopped and ready to go i tossed all the meat in a wok and cooked it up #THEN after pulling out the meat i threw a couple tortillas in the wok one at a time and sprinkled some cheese on one side to melt and get #a lil crispy...and also mixed some mayo + sriracha into a sauce for drizzling #(i would've used sour cream instead of mayo if i'd had any but mine was bad T-T) #also i'm out if kimchi or i would've put that on top too. god that would've been so good. i'm kinda mad abt it #anyway then i filled the tortillas with the meat + cilantro + onion + cucumber + radish and drizzled on some sauce. #divine. transcendent. revelatory. #i absolutely love how well korean (honestly a lot of different asian) seasonings and flavor profiles pair with mexican foods and flavors. #CULINARY SYNERGY!!!! #i know this is not a new observation but it still brings me joy every time i remember #anyway fair warning i like spicy food so this is spicy. obviously.
