Vegan Korean Tacos

 

This was an interesting experiment for tacos. We wanted to make a taco with Korean flavors, so here is our attempt. Some key components to this is the vegan kimchi, if you can’t find this, you can make it yourself, but leave out the fish sauce. We feel that these turned out really good, so I hope you enjoy this taco version!
