Smashed Cheesesteak Tacos

Perfect for a quick dinner or a tasty snack
Author Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

Ingredients

  • 500 g ground beef
  • Salt & pepper
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 large green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 large white onion chopped
  • 7 cheddar cheese slices
  • 7 mini tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and green bell pepper. Stir for a few minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 7 (or 8) portions. Smash or spread the ground beef on each mini tortilla, covering it to the edges.

  3. Prepare a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Place the mini tortillas with smashed beef, beef side down. Cook for a few minutes, then flip to cook the tortilla. (Note: you can use a bit of oil before cooking; I tried but I was not too fond of the result.)

  4. While on this step, add a slice of cheese on top of the cooked beef, and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

  5. Once the cheese is melted, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a plate.
  6. Add the cooked green bell pepper and white onion on top, fold to create a taco, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • I used sliced cheese for burgers, but you can make your own cheese sauce. I have a recipe here.
  • You may need to clean the pan (I used paper towels) after a batch or so of cooking the beef with the tortilla.
  • Instead of melting it in the pan, you can also torch the cheese.
