Ingredients
  

For the beef

  • 1 TB oil extra virgin
  • 1 lb ground beef I used 90/10
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 TB sugar granulated
  • 2 TB water
  • ½ Asian pear chopped
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 1 TB minced garlic
  • 2 TB sesame oil
  • ½ TB ground pepper
  • ½ TB grated ginger

For the rest

  • 8 ounce extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces tortilla chips about 3/4 of a standard size bag
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 ½ cup kimchi

Instructions
 

  • Make the beef: In a food processor or blender, add the onions, pear and ginger. Puree finely. Pour into a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and stir.
  • In a large saute pan, add the oil and the beef. Break up the beef and cook until browned. Add the soy/onion/pear mixture and mix well. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • On a sheet pan, layer the tortilla chips, beef, kimchi and cheese. Stick the pan under the broiler and cook about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn. Cook until all the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve!
