Smash Taco Recipe

Step 1

Prep all your ingredients so everything is ready.

Step 2

Season ground turkey with taco seasoning and roll into 8 balls, 2 ounces each.

Step 3

Heat a large griddle, black stone or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Flip, top each with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese then top with tortilla.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Top with sliced avocado and pico de gallo, plus salsa if desired. Fold and eat right away.
