Ingredients

12 small meatballs

1/2 cup Korean BBQ sauce

8 small flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cabbage

1/2 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sriracha or to taste

Instructions

1. Cook meatballs until fully cooked through, either by baking or pan-searing.

2. Warm Korean BBQ sauce in a skillet and toss the cooked meatballs in the sauce until coated.

3. Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame until soft and pliable.

4. Combine shredded cabbage and carrots to make a simple slaw, adding a splash of rice vinegar if desired.

5. Assemble tacos by placing slaw on each tortilla, topping with saucy meatballs, and drizzling with mayonnaise and sriracha.

6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Toast tortillas lightly for extra flavor and durability.

Glaze meatballs just before serving to prevent sauce from thickening too much.

Keep slaw lightly dressed to avoid soggy tacos.
