Ingredients
- 1 lb beef
- 2 teaspoon crushed coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon red chilli
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoon pomegranate seeds crushed
- ½ red onion fine chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ½ green chilli
- 2 teaspoon garlic and ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal optional
Other Ingredients
- flour tortilla medium-sized
- tortillas
- cabbage shredded
- mini sweet peppers sliced
- radishes sliced
- cilantro sliced
- lime juice
- chipotle mayo
Instructions
- Start by mixing all the spices into your ground meat. Get your hands in there and really work those flavors together until you see those beautiful threads of fat running through the mince. Trust me, that's where the magic happens.
- Divide your seasoned meat mixture into 5-6 golf ball-sized portions. This ensures that each smash taco gets an equal share of the flavor explosion.
- Heat up a cast-iron skillet until it's screaming hot. Place one of your meat balls in the center, then grab a tortilla and with the help of a spatula, smash the patty down with all the force you can muster. You want to hear that sizzle!
- Let the patty cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes, then give it a flip and allow the tortilla to crisp up for another minute. If your patty didn't get that deep, golden color on the first flip, don't worry – just give it one more flip for 10-15 seconds.
- Once your Chapli Kebab Smash Taco patty is perfectly cooked and crisped to perfection, it's time to assemble your tacos. Load up your warm tortillas with shredded cabbage, mini sweet red peppers, sliced radishes, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a generous drizzle of chipotle mayo.
