Ingredients
1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (90/10 or leaner) 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste) 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional) Salt and pepper, to taste 4 whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas 1 cup cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice (optional for low carb) 1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1/4 cup chopped scallions 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook lean ground beef, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. 2. Add soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and honey. Stir and simmer 2–3 minutes to combine flavors. 3. Prepare shredded cabbage, carrots, scallions, and cook rice or cauliflower rice if using. Warm tortillas. 4. Lay a tortilla flat. Add rice or cauliflower rice, Korean beef, shredded vegetables, scallions, and sesame seeds. 5. Fold in sides, roll tightly from bottom up, and serve warm. Slice in half if desired.
Notes
• Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a low-carb option. • Don’t overfill burritos to make rolling easier. • Warm tortillas just before filling to prevent cracking. • Adjust gochujang for desired heat level.
