Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Gochujang Mayo by mixing mayo, gochujang, toasted sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl until creamy.
Make the Bulgogi Glaze by whisking together gochujang, honey, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds, water, and rice vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
Form the Smashburgers by dividing the ground beef into seven equal balls, shaping them into loose patties.
Heat the Griddle on medium-high until smoking hot.
Smash the Beef balls onto the hot griddle, cooking them for 3-4 minutes until deeply browned before flipping.
Apply the Bulgogi Glaze over the patties once flipped and let it caramelize for about a minute.
Assemble the Tacos by placing patties in tortillas and topping with kimchi, gochujang mayo, and scallions.
Serve Hot and enjoy the taco ensemble immediately.
