Description
I hopped on the smashed taco trend and made this turkey smash taco recipe a bit lighter than what I’ve seen on TikTok. Easy and delicious!
Equipment
a round burger press or large spatula
Ingredients
1pound93% ground turkey
2teaspoonstaco seasoning
1cupshredded cheddar or Mexican cheese mix
8corn tortillas
4ouncesavocado, sliced thin (from 1 haas)
1cuppico de gallo, homemade or store bought
parchment paper, cut into squares
Instructions
Prep all your ingredients so everything is ready.
Season ground turkey with taco seasoning and roll into 8 balls, 2 ounces each.
Heat a large griddle, black stone or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- When hot, spray with oil. Working in batches add turkey balls leaving enough space in between so they have room to spread and top with parchment.
- Using the press or a large spatula with a mallet pushing down on it, smash them all down as thin as possible. Cook until the bottoms are browned.
Flip, top each with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese then top with tortilla.
- Use the press to press down well on each. Cook about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the turkey browns and the cheese melts. Flip and cook 1 more minute so the tortillas char. Transfer tortillas to a plate, meat side up.
Top with sliced avocado and pico de gallo, plus salsa if desired. Fold and eat right away.
