Instructions
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 cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired.
