Saw a Gordon Ramsay video on it so I gave it a try.

Spread ground meat on a tortilla
Pan fry, meat side down
Flip and fry tortilla side

Made it three different times so far. My kids love it.

Pics?
Posted By: 4th_point Re: Burger taco style - 05/20/23
No pics, but not much to it. Gordon Ramsay calls it a burger taco style, but I see similar recipes called smash burger tacos. Tons of pics and videos online. Apparently it has been really popular on social media.

Checked it out, looks damn good👊🏻

On the to do list at the boys place next month in montucky.

I don't know what it is, but my kids now prefer it over a regular cheeseburger and they love hamburger buns.

I saw another version for breakfast. Replace the ground meat with breakfast sausage. While that is cooking, fry an egg, add a thick layer of cheese, then flip to get the cheese crust. Add the egg and cheese to the sausage/tortilla.

Son found this on IG. We tried it. Easy, quick and good! IMO, thinner is better when spreading the burger. The shape makes it easy to load up on toppings. On a griddle/flattop it'd be easy to cook up a bunch quickly.

I've made it several times now and use about 1/4 pound per.

Also tried the breakfast version with sausage.

Watched a video on them puppies today. I will make them tomorrow two ways, one with American Cheese and one with Blue Cheese should be interesting.

I like the way the soft shell tocos get crispy with the beef fat.

Let us know what you think.

I believe that you're right about the shell and beef fat. When I make them, the shell poofs up a bit, then deflates and gets crispy.

For decades we would smear a thin layer of hamburger over half of a corn tortilla, season and fry in 1/2 inch of hot oil in a dutch oven. Fry each side for minute or two, then flip and cook the other side.

You end up with a crispy taco with a meat patty inside. Add lettuce, cheese, tomato and Pico Pica and your good to go.


Sounds like you did about the same.

Take all night to cook those for our tribe.

Guess we could use 4 skillets.

This seems like a good application for a flattop.

Hi 4th_point, I made them two weeks ago, to be honest, I am not a fan and will not be making them again. Prefer my Moose Burgers with my homemade Brioche Buns with all the fixings 1000 x's more.
Posted By: 4th_point Re: Burger taco style - 07/18/23
Understandable. My kids prefer the shell. I don't mind a bun either but it's more about the meat and fixings than bread for me.

Recall the Bell Beefer?

Nope. Don't know that one.

That's awesome. Link for a description? Or simple typed instruction? Thanks.

Taco Bell in the early days.

Ed, we didn't have a Taco Bell around when I was younger.

You could make a taco at the Wendy's SuperBar buffet though!
