Korean Brand Beef Street Taco Kit

Elle found a Bamboo Lane brand "Korean Brand Beef Street Taco Kit" at Costco ($11.99).  It has the basic ingredients for twelve tacos, so which works out to be about $1 each.  Worth a try!

Bamboo Lane brand "Korean Brand Beef Street Tacos" Kit

Umami likes that the packaging makes it sound like Korea has a brand of beef.

Inside, there are two packs, each with ingredients for six tacos:  a small packet of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, six packets of Sriracha, a packet with six small tortillas, and a pouch of precooked, marinated beef.  No vegetables; which is not surprising.

Fixins (clockwise from top):  Cheese, Sriracha, Tortillas, Beef 

Microwave the beef on high for 90 seconds and microwave the tortillas for a minute.  Add your own vegetables:

Fixins (from left):  Salad greens, cheese, lime, onion, tomatoes, beef.

The beef is credible enough, small chunks, some with scorch marks, marinated in a tasty sauce/marinade.  Umami supposes that the sauce/marinade is functions a source of moisture for the beef.  Fully dressed, with all the toppings, it makes a perfectly good taco.

There's nothing really Korean about this, of course.  Maybe, with the next pack, Umami will make one with kim chee, with some soju to wash it down!
