🌮 Smash Taco? YES PLEASE. 🌮

If you haven’t tried smashing your taco meat directly onto the tortilla, you are missing out on that crispy, caramelized gold! It’s fast, messy in the best way, and a total crowd-pleaser.

The Simple Smash Recipe

1. Prep: Roll ground beef into small balls (about 2oz each). Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Smash: Place the meat ball on a hot flat top, put a corn or flour tortilla right on top, and SMASH it flat with a heavy spatula or press.

3. Cook: Let it sear for about 2 minutes until the meat is cooked through and crispy.

4. Flip: Flip the whole thing over so the tortilla gets toasted in the beef drippings for 30 seconds.

5. Finish: Top with cheese while it’s hot, then add your fresh cilantro, onions, and lime!

🌧️ Bad Weather? Take it Inside!
Don't let the rain ruin the vibe. You can make these just as easily in the kitchen:
• The Cast Iron Method: Use a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. It mimics the flat grill’s heat retention perfectly for that crust.
• The Batch Hack: If you don't want to do them one by one, use a large non-stick griddle.

• Ventilation Tip: These get a little smoky! Make sure your vent fan is on high or crack a window—it’s worth it for that sear.

Our new retail space is slowly but surely coming together—and let us tell you, it’s truly a labor of love. From setting cases to fine-tuning every detail, we’re building this space with our customers in mind every step of the way.

It’s not perfect (yet), it’s a little messy, and there’s still plenty to do—but seeing it take shape like this gets us pretty excited for what’s ahead.

We can’t wait to welcome you in when it’s ready. Stay tuned… the best is yet to come! 🔨🥩
