Assemble the Tacos:
Step 10
First, warm the tortillas. You can do this 2 ways:--For a Gas Stovetop: Fire up the burners on your stove to the lowest setting. One at a time, carefully place a tortilla directly on the burner and flip after about 45 seconds. As you finish cooking the tortillas, place them onto a towel and close the towel up to steam the tortillas and keep them warm.--For an Electric Stovetop: Place the tortillas in a dry (no oil) stainless steel skillet over medium heat and cook them for about 30 seconds on each side.
Step 11
Next, place desired amount of the steak mixture at the bottom of the charred tortilla and top with the slaw, a drizzle of the Gochujang mayo and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
