Foodie Friday … smashed taco party of one

So, I’m sure you’ve seen the smashed burger & taco craze online. They look so good, and great to make for a crowd, but when you’re cooking for one it’s just a lot of meat. I thought, ‘that’s ridiculous Jeanine’ figure out a way to make it for yourself. I did & I’m hooked!

I used ground turkey and those small “street taco” tortillas.

First thing I did was semi-freeze the turkey to harden it a bit and then cut it into 6 pieces. I used one square for two street tacos. I mashed the square and added garlic salt, pepper, cumin and a little chili powder. I then spread them very thin onto one side of the tacos to cover it (sorry, forgot to take a pic of that!)

I put a little olive oil in a pan and put the tortillas in, turkey side down, on medium high heat. It doesn’t take that long to cook ‘cause the turkey is spread so thin. Flip them over and brown the other side. Take them off the heat, fold in half and add your toppings. Easy peasy … and SO much flavor! Table for one please!!

Next time I wanted to make them (which was the next day) I just put out a square of turkey and let it sit while I did a couple of things around the house and it was ready pretty quickly to make them again!
