Korean tacos
Bulgogi in tortillas
Korean tacos are a fusion food combining Korean fillings—typically bulgogi beef, spicy pork, or kimchi—with Mexican-style tortillas and toppings.
The dish emerged from Los Angeles food truck culture in the late 2000s and became emblematic of Asian-Latin fusion cuisine: We grabbed Korean tacos from a truck downtown.
