✨ Ingredients:
For the tacos:
- 1 lb Nutrafarms Grass-Fed Ground Beef
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Small tortillas (flour or corn)
- Shredded cheese
(cheddar or mozzarella work great)
For the burger sauce:
- ¼ cup mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp relish
- Pinch of sugar
Toppings:
- Shredded lettuce
- Pickles
- Backwoods Maple Habanero Pepper Sauce (don’t skip this part!)
🔥 Instructions:
1. Season the Beef:
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
2. Portion It Out:
Roll into small portions (around ¼ cup each) to get ready for smashing.
3. Prep the Tortillas:
Lay out your tortillas. Take one portion of beef and press it directly onto the tortilla, flattening it out to cover one side evenly.
4. Smash & Sear:
Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat (no oil needed). Place each taco meat-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and crisp.
5. Flip & Cheese It:
Flip the taco and cook the tortilla side for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on the hot beef side and let it melt beautifully.
6. Make the Burger Sauce:
In a bowl, stir together mayo, ketchup, relish, and a pinch of sugar. Chill it while the tacos finish up.
7. Assemble Like a Pro:
Top your cheesy beef tacos with shredded lettuce, pickles, a drizzle of burger sauce, and the star of the show—Backwoods Maple Habanero Pepper Sauce. Add as much kick as you can handle!
