About the Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
8 plantain tortillas (see below for how to make)
BURGER TOPPINGS
1/2 red onion diced
2 tomatoes sliced
2 cups shredded lettuce
PLANTAIN TORTILLAS
4 green plantains peeled and diced
4 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
Preparation
For the plantain tortillas:
ADD plantains, water, and salt to a saucepan on medium heat and cook until fork tender. Allow to cool, then add to a food processor and blend until it comes together to form a “dough” ball. Divide the plantain dough into 8. Cover your palms with oil, then roll each piece of plantain dough into a ball. Using a tortilla press, press the dough into a tortilla.
NEXT, bring a skillet to medium heat, add the pressed plantain tortilla, and cook for 1 ½ minutes. Then flip and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and repeat for the remaining plantain tacos.
For the smash burger tacos:
COMBINE the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well, then separate into 8 equal portions. Spread each portion of seasoned ground beef onto a plantain tortilla. Be sure to spread all the way to the edges, as it will shrink during cooking.
NEXT, bring a skillet to medium heat. When hot, spray generously with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray. Then add the plantain tortilla, meat side down, onto the hot skillet. Use a burger press or flat pot cover/lid to press the burger down firmly while it cooks. Cook for about 1 ½ minutes to 2 minutes. Then flip, cook for 10 seconds, and remove from heat.
