Korean Beef Nachos
These will be the BEST NACHOS of your life! Topped with everyone’s favorite Korean beef, caramelized kimchi + a Sriracha mayo drizzle!
This is why September is one of my favorite months.
Nope, it’s not because it’s the start of the Fall season, the cooler weather, or the pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks.
No, it’s because, hello, it’s GAME DAY season! Which means we have every excuse to have nachos all day everyday. I mean, there’s college football Saturdays, NFL football Sundays, and some other games on Monday and Thursday nights. It’s basically on all the time.
Hence. We need nachos all the time.
And what better way to have nachos than when it’s smothered in melted cheese, everyone’s favorite Korean beef, caramelized kimchi, and a Sriracha mayo drizzle.
Nope, there’s no better way.
Korean Beef Nachos
These will be the BEST NACHOS of your life! Topped with everyone’s favorite Korean beef, caramelized kimchi + a Sriracha mayo drizzle!
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup kimchi, chopped
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or more, to taste
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
For the Korean beef
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces ground beef
Directions:
- To make the Korean beef, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.
- Stir in soy sauce mixture until well combined, allowing to simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes; set aside and keep warm.
- Heat vegetable oil in the skillet. Stir in kimchi, sesame oil and sugar until heated through and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes; set aside and keep warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Place tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with ground beef mixture and cheeses. Place into oven and bake until heated through and the cheeses have melted, about 5-6 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with kimchi mixture, drizzled with Sriracha mayonnaise, and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Traveling to Yosemite with a Dog
How to travel to Yosemite with your pets! Plus, some very helpful tips including dog-friendly trails at the park!
Yes, you can bring your dog to Yosemite! We brought Butters all the way from Los Angeles, and it was the most amazing experience. However, we weren’t fully prepared for this trip so I hope some of our tips will be helpful for you guys!
Be prepared to drive. A lot.
First and foremost, I should tell you that a lot of driving is involved.
We flew from LA to SF, then drove from SF to Yosemite, hitting the road at 3:45am.
It took about 3-4 hours to get to the entrance of the park, which isn’t too bad. Except what we didn’t know was that it took 1-2 hours just to get to Glacier Point!
So again, be prepared for a lot of driving, time and patience as you will run into some beautiful sights unexpectedly where you may want to pull over and take pictures.
The early bird gets the worm.
Start your day early! We got to the park around 7-8am so parking was very easy and there weren’t too many people around. But as we were leaving the park around 11-12 pm, it was so packed, it was impossible to get any pictures at certain places!
Dogs are not allowed everywhere.
There are only a handful of trails that are dog-friendly.
- Bridalveil Fall
- Cook’s Meadow Loop
- Glacier Point
- Lower Yosemite Fall
- Mirror Lake Trail
- Tunnel View
Dogs must be on a leash (or you will be cited) and must be cleaned up after. They are not allowed on shuttles, lodging areas, unpaved trails and undeveloped areas (such as wilderness areas).
Don’t forget snacks and water for both yourself and your dog.
There are certainly shops in the park for water/snacks but I prefer to pack all of my own water and nuts/trail mix/PB&J sandwiches as well as other various snacks for Butters.
But most importantly, be prepared to invest in a travel water bowl for your dog. We always carry this one around and it is a God-send! Especially with the elevation, everyone should stay hydrated at all times.
Get that Christmas card shot.
Take as many pictures as you can because you never know – that shot just may end up on your Christmas card for 2018.
