Maybe it’s because tacos are near and dear to our heart (not to mention how they always on our tip of the tongu—erm...mind), but our Siete familia is delighted when tacos are used as a vehicle to bring foods from different countries together, on the plate, or in a dish. Like these Korean BBQ Tacos! You see, as a hyphenated, Mexican-American family (one that celebrates both Mexican and American culture and food) we’ve got a love that’s deep, wide, and hungry for the many flavors of fusion food. We believe that there is room for everybody at the table, and the more cultures we can celebrate, the better! This taco recipe is the sum of some of the savory, salty, and smokey tastes of Korean Bulgogi “Fire Meat,” Texas Barbecue, and Mexican Tacos. This recipe was inspired, in part by our love for tacos, but also by a trip Imani, our Events Coordinator, took to South Korea. She’s quick to admit a general love for all Korean food, but, upon visiting Seoul, she noticed there was an equally rich culture around food. “It’s an event. You eat and drink for hours! A lot of food is made at the table, so people sit on stools around the sizzling meat... Everyone has a role in the meal—gathering sides, filling drinks. There’s this sort of ecosystem in the meal that brings people together.” We hope this dish inspires you to gather up and gather round with the ones you love, for a dish that celebrates the best of both worlds.
