Shallot-infused oil adds a subtle shallot flavor without the FODMAPs. My go-to is Fody Foods Shallot-Infused Olive Oil. Learn more about why infused oils are okay on the low FODMAP diet here.

Instructions
There are three main components to making these Korean tacos. First, you’ll make the quick pickled crunchy veggies. Then, you’ll cook the beef (or turkey) and flavor it with the Korean BBQ. Finally, you assemble your tasty tacos. Here’s a full breakdown of the steps with some personal tips and tricks:

Make the quick pickled veggies. To start, place the red cabbage, carrots, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to mix. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. While the veggies are in the fridge, I like to work on cooking the meat and prepping everything else.
Once done (about 20-30 minutes later), transfer the veggies to a colander and rinse them under cool running water to remove some of the salt.
Return the rinsed veggies to the medium bowl and add orange juice, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.

Make the beef. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and ground beef. Break the beef into small crumbles and cook, about 6 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink and the edges are browned.
Add the sauce. Stir in FODY Foods Korean BBQ Sauce stirring and simmer until the sauce is heated, about 2 minutes.

Prep the tortillas. Warm the corn tortillas using your preferred method. I like to warm mine in a pan on the stove with a little oil until they are just slightly starting to crisp and get browned.

Assemble the tacos. Fill the tortillas (or lettuce wraps) with the Korean beef, pickled veggies, and optional garnishes. Serve warm.

Ingredients
Quick Pickled Veggies
- 1 ½ cup (100 grams) shredded red cabbage

Optional Garnishes
- Fresh cilantro
- Sliced green onion tops (green parts only)
Instructions
- Place the red cabbage, carrots, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to mix. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. (I like to start prepping the rest of the taco ingredients while the veggies sit.) After 20-30 minutes, transfer the veggies to a colander and rinse under cool running water to remove some of the salt. Return the rinsed veggies to the medium bowl and add orange juice, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.

- Stir Fody Foods Korean BBQ Sauce into the cooked beef and simmer until the sauce is heated, about 1-2 minutes.
- Warm the corn tortillas using your preferred method. I like to warm mine in a pan on the stove with a little oil until they are just slightly starting to char.
- Assemble the tacos by topping the tortillas (or lettuce wraps) with the Korean beef, pickled veggies, and optional garnishes. Serve warm.
