Korean taco
Kimchi meets tortilla
A Korean taco is a fusion food combining Korean-style fillings—typically bulgogi beef, spicy pork, or kimchi—with a Mexican tortilla.
The dish emerged from Los Angeles food trucks in the late 2000s and became emblematic of Asian-Latin fusion cuisine: We grabbed Korean tacos from the truck on Wilshire.
