The ultimate bag salad smash taco hack you NEED to try.
Two ideas collide here, and both are great. Smash tacos: press seasoned beef directly onto the tortilla so they become one crispy-edged thing on the griddle. Bagged salad: somebody already chopped the crunch for you. Put them together and you get hot/cold, crispy/creamy tacos with literally zero knife work.
Why It Works
The beef fuses to the tortilla as it cooks, so every bite has meat, cheese, and char. Then the cold salad on top does what lettuce and pico do — except you opened a bag instead of chopping for twenty minutes. The kit's dressing ties it all together.
What You'll Need
- Ground beef (80/20)
- Small flour tortillas
- Your favorite seasoning + sliced cheese
- A bagged chopped salad kit with dressing
