Mediterranean Smashed Tacos With Sumac Salad

食材

Tacos

1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferably)

1/2 white onion, grated

1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced or mashed

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

8 taco size flour tortillas

Sumac salad

2 persian cucumbers, chopped

1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 roma tomatoes, diced

2 tb red wine vinegar

1 tb sumac

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Tahini sauce

1/2 cup tahini

2 tb honey

1 clove garlic

1 lemon, juiced

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup water

First make the meat mixture. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix to incorporate well. Set aside. Next make the sumac salad and sauce. For the salad, add the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and sliced onions to a bowl. Toss with the vinegar, sumac, and salt and set aside. Make the tahini sauce by adding everything to a small blender and blending until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. Finally, make the smash tacos. Spread ~3-4 tablespoons of the meat mixture into an even layer on each tortilla. Heat a pan over medium heat. Place each tortilla meat side down on the pan and cook for ~4 minutes, pressing it down with a heavy object or a press so the meat doesn’t shrink up and cooks evenly. Flip to the other side and let cook one minute more. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining tortillas. Finally, assemble tacos with the sumac salad on top and lots of tahini sauce. Enjoy!
