  • 4 radishes diced

  • 2 bird eye chilis minced
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru
  • 1 lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Black Beans

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can black beans strained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

The Burrito

  • 2 cups steamed medium grain white rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chihuahua cheese
  • 2 cups kimchi
  • 4 12inch flour tortillas

Instructions

Marinate the meat

  • Mix the pork with all the marinade ingredients and let it sit covered in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

Make the Salsa

  • Mix all the salsa ingredients and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Make the beans

  • Add the oil to a small pan over medium heat and stir in the garlic. Cook about 3 minutes. Add in the beans as well as the rest of the ingredients. Allow to simmer until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze on the beans.

Cook the pork

  • Bring a large frying pan to high heat and add the entire contents of the bowl with the pork and marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes until the pork is browned in places and cooked through.

Build the burritos

  • Add a tortilla to the top of the cooking meat to let it steam for about 5 seconds a side. Put a square of foil on the work surface and add the tortilla on top of it. Add some rice, cheese, beans, and pork. Then add the salsa and kimchi. Wrap the burrito to seal it up and wrap the foil around it. Repeat with the remaining burritos
