1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

3. Place meatballs on baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and cooked through.

4. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, and rice vinegar. Simmer until thickened.

5. Toss cooked meatballs in the sauce until evenly coated.

Don’t overmix the meatball mixture or they can turn tough—combine just until ingredients are incorporated.

For extra flavor, toast the tortillas on a skillet before assembling.
