10 Minute Skinny Korean Beef Tacos with Kimchi

I have a confession to make.  Up until a few days ago, I had never before tried kimchi. I always turned up my nose at the idea of fermenting cabbage, which I thought would taste rotten, and spices. Now, I don't understand, how have I lived my life this long without kimchi!?  I blame my family and all of you, for not telling me just how darn delicious it was. Not to mention the fact that it's zero - yes, zero- points!  I knew the second I tried it that I had to make a fantastic quick recipe with it.

This recipe is so easy.  It only takes ten minutes to make from start to finish and is such an unsuspected twist on a traditional taco.  The beef is quickly stir-fried with a delicious homemade sauce that contrasts with the spicy tang of the kimchi.  I hope you enjoy my first real attempt at healthy fusion food!
