The perfect burger does exist but you must put it inside of a taco shell! The edges get nice and crispy and you get so much more of the melted cheese with caramelized onion flavor and don’t get me started on the truffle mayo!! You’ll want to put on everything! These smash burger tacos are seriously on another level and I served them with homemade plátano fries! Truffle Smash Burger Tacos ✨ 1 lb 80/20 ground beef ✨ 8 tortillas (I used almond flour tortillas) ✨ Cheese of choice (I used truffle Monterey Jack from Trader Joe’s) ✨ Arugula ✨ Caramelized onions (see below) ✨ Homemade truffle mayo (recipe below) For the caramelized onions: ✨ 1 yellow sweet onion, thinly sliced ✨ 1 tbsp olive oil ✨ 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar ✨ 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce ✨ Salt & pepper to taste 1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add onions and sauté for 10 minutes. 2. Stir in balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and salt. Continue to caramelize for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and jammy. Set aside. 3. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and press each one thinly onto a tortilla (meat side up). Use parchment paper and a rolling pin to get it nice and even. 4. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Place the tortilla meat-side down and cook until the beef is crispy on the edges. 5. Flip and toast the tortilla side. 6. Add cheese directly to the meat side so it melts while still on the pan. 7. To assemble, layer with caramelized onions, a generous drizzle of truffle mayo, and fresh arugula. Truffle Mayo ✨ 3 tbsp mayonnaise ✨ 1⁄4 tsp onion powder ✨ 1⁄2 garlic clove, finely grated ✨ Pinch of black pepper ✨ 2 tsp finely grated Parmesan ✨ 1⁄2 tsp Dijon mustard ✨ 1⁄2 tsp white wine vinegar ✨ 1 tsp truffle oil (start with 1⁄2 tsp, taste, and adjust) Plátano Fries To make them, peel and slice a green plantain into strips. Heat avocado oil in a pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers, it’s ready when the plantains start to sizzle as they hit the oil. Fry in batches until golden and crispy, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt while they’re still hot. #tacos #smashburger #easyrecipe #cookwithme #truffleburger #smashburgertacos #greenplantain #platanofrito #dinner #summerrecipes #tomatogirlsummer
