- Corn tortillas — To make them more pliable, heat them in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side before warming them in the oven.

- If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with fresh parsley or green onions.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to the kimchi and black bean mixture for added texture and flavor.
