Jalapeno Popper Smashed Tacos
Are you ready for the ultimate mashup? Jalapeño Popper Smash Tacos!
I am taking the internet-famous smash burger taco trend and leveling it up with a spicy, cheesy kick. Juicy Turkey smashed thin right onto a crispy tortilla, loaded with fresh jalapeños, crispy bacon, and a creamy, tangy cream cheese popper sauce. It cooks fast on a hot flat top and delivers maximum flavor in every single bite.
Ingredients:
6 slices bacon
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeños
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, or as needed
1 cup shredded lettuce, or as needed
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 7 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.
Combine ground turkey with jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, crumbled bacon, and 3/4 cup shredded cheese in a bowl. Spread beef mixture to the edges of each tortilla; set aside.
Preheat a griddle to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix cream cheese with sour cream, lime juice, and salt and set aside.
Place tacos meat-side down on hot griddle. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Fold tacos in half and top with sour cream mixture, remaining cheese, cilantro, and shredded lettuce. Serve and enjoy!
