  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook beef cheeks until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, cook and stir until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir chicken broth, soy sauce, green onions, sugar, and sesame oil into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer until beef cheeks are tender, about 2 hours.

  3. Remove beef cheeks from the pot using a slotted spoon, cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange beef on a dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  4. Place a scoop of beef and some kimchi over each tortilla.
