A lot of my food inspiration comes when I’m grocery shopping. I even love to try new grocery stores when I’m traveling just to check out their local selection. All those aisles and shelves of ingredients to make delicious dinners are like a wonderfully varied buffet. Browsing through the options leaves my brain spinning with delicious possibilities.

Believe me, I don’t always have the time to slowly browse, but when I do you can bet I let my foodie brain take over! I go into the grocery store with the goal of finding one new or fun food item to try that week. It’s like a treasure hunt – but I never know what the treasure is until I see it!

This week it was kimchi. I spied a new brand of it and even though I’ve never tried it before, something about the jar of packed vegetables in a spicy brine made me put it in my cart. I walked along a few more aisles, still considering my options.

Kimchi sandwich?
Kimchi sausage hoagies?
Kimchi fried rice balls?

Then in the refrigerator section, I spotted fresh tortillas and I just knew: Kimchi Tacos.

My favorite dinner recipes are those that only take a few ingredients and come together quickly but are over-the-top with flavor. This recipe is a mish-mash of a few I found on Pinterest and simplified—it’s what I do best! The kimchi is so flavorful that you won’t want to combine it with a lot of different ingredients.

Remember, the next time you are feeling dread at the thought of having to go to the grocery store, turn it into a treasure hunt!
