These beef bulgogi Korean tacos featured by Betty Crocker are not your typical Cinco de Mayo dish.  Sirloin steak is marinated with soy sauce, green onions, and a pinch of sugar for 30 minutes before being cooked on the stovetop (if you can grill the steak, that would be even better).  Each taco is then topped with a spicy Asian salsa using the famous sriracha hot sauce and a few sesame seeds.  If you are looking to go in a different direction this Cinco de Mayo, these beef bulgogi Korean tacos are a delicious and unique dish to make.
