Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Gochugaru or sub red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 serrano pepper diced, optional
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 12 ounces vegan beef crumbles or sub cooked lentils
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • oil
  • sesame seeds
  • spicy mayo see notes
  • purple cabbage, lime wedges, green onion for serving

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, Gochugaru and ground ginger in a bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, serrano & green onion and cook for about one minute. Add in the vegan beef crumbles and sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently - the sauce should be absorbed.
  • Heat the tortillas. Brush one side of a tortilla with oil, flip it over and spread some of the filling down the center. Roll it up and place seam side down in an air fryer basket (see notes for baking instructions). Repeat with the remaining ingredients and cook for 8 minutes at 380 degrees. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until crispy. Work in batches if needed.
  • Remove from the air fryer, add toppings and serve with spicy mayo.
