Okay, this one is a little out there. I get it. But it’s so fun and different that I had to share. So I mentioned recently that I took a little field trip to my local hispanic market, Mi Tienda, which is owned by the supermarket chain, HEB.

Korean BBQ Tempeh Tostadas

Standard

One of my favorite things about moving to Texas is getting a chance to spend some time in Austin, which very well may be the coolest city in America. SXSW was in full swing when I was there this past weekend. I stumbled uponĀ SouthBites, a curated food truck area. Yes, curated! Each truck was especially chosen by Austin Top Chef Paul Qui just for SXSW.

This recipe is inspired by the menus I saw at the various food trucks. Funky fusion is in and everything just seems a little hipper if you add Korean BBQ to it.
