Korean Beef Tacos

Asian cuisine of all kinds is one of my favorite things on the planet-- and so is Mexican food.  Put them together, and I am one happy girl.  Back in September, I introduced you to Yum Pow Chicken Tacos, a dish so fantastic I can eat the ENTIRE thing in one sitting.  Today, I want to introduce you to Yum Pow's equally delicious cousin:  The Korean Beef Taco!

It's delicious and perfectly spicy- and you can do most of it in the crock-pot.  I like to serve them with rice, just to have something to balance out the meal,  I originally found this recipe on Pinterest, and now I am going to share it with you.  Get the directions below.
