Instructions
- Make the marinade – Mince the garlic, ginger, onion, and apple. Mix with the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and sugar.
- Marinade the beef – Add the beef slices into the marinade and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Prepare the burrito fillings – Sauté the kimchi and mix thoroughly with the rice. Portion out the amount of cheese being used and slice the scallion into small pieces.
- Cook the bulgogi – Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over the stove to medium-high heat. Cook the bulgogi for about 1 minute on each side, or until fully cooked.
- Wrap burrito – Lay the tortilla on a flat surface, such as a cutting board. Add the bulgogi to the bottom third of the tortilla. Add the kimchi rice, cheese, and scallions. Tuck the sides of the burrito into a V-shape and continue to tuck and fold until the burrito is fully closed.
- Serve with salsa – Serve your burrito with a salsa of your choice and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions and Variations
Salsa or hot sauce of choice – I didn't specify a specific salsa here but feel free to use pico de gallo, salsa verde, or your salsa of choice. Most salsas are all pretty low in calories so from a macro and calorie counting standpoint, it doesn’t matter which you choose.
Make a burrito bowl – Swap out the tortilla for a serving of brown rice, Mexican rice, or white rice to make a delicious chicken burrito bowl recipe.
Expert Tips
Cook the beef in a single layer – This will ensure the beef is evenly cooked.
Don’t overstuff the burrito – This will result in a burrito that doesn’t fold properly.
