Kogi Taco Recipe
To kick off our Adventure Grilling series, we drew inspiration from Los Angeles’ vibrant taco truck scene. One flavor pairing stood out right away: Korean BBQ inspired tacos.
Juicy grilled short ribs, crisp napa cabbage slaw, charred green onions, and warm tortillas straight from the grill come together in a simple backyard recipe bursting with sweet, savory, smoky, and tangy flavors. Let’s dive in.
