Viral Smashed Burger Tacos (Middle Eastern Style)
The viral Smashed Burger Tacos with a fun Middle Eastern twist is the new thing. Give it a try and let me know what you think down below!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon 7 spice
- 1½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 10 flour tortillas carb tortillas (I used the fajita size low-carb mission brand)
Instructions
- Mix the ground beef along with the seasonings and the finely chopped onion and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- If you’re using small taco-sized flour tortillas, then add about a golf size amount of beef to the tortilla, making sure it’s well spread to the edges.
- Add to a lightly sprayed pan and place beef side down.
- Press down firmly using a spatula to smash it down.
- Let it cook for 1 minute or 2 until browned, and flip. You should see it completely brown and no longer pink, and it doesn’t have any pink running out of it.
- Remove and serve.
Notes
- Opt for soft and pliable tortillas that can hold the juicy smashed burger and toppings without breaking apart.
- You can use any size tortilla you like, it’s just the portion of beef that would be different.
- A larger tortilla would require a little more cooking time, about 2-3 minutes. The goal is to have a small layer of beef, not something thick, so it cooks quickly.
