Pickle Smash Tortillas

Treat yourself to these 100% pickle “smash tortillas”, courtesy of Jade Auclair-Roy, in collaboration with the Silly Billy condiment company. The acidity of the pickle enhances the meat to unleash a bold new taco that doesn’t hold back on fun or flavour.

 

INGREDIENTS

For the meat: 

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, lean
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs 
  • 1 pickle, finely chopped
  • 1 French shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Silly Billy pickle mayonnaise 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

To serve: 

  • Regular 7-inch tortillas
  • Orange cheddar, sliced
  • Iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
  • Sliced pickles
  • Silly Billy pickle mustard
  • Silly Billy spicy pickle mayonnaise

STEPS

  1. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped pickle, shallot, Silly Billy mayonnaise, and salt and pepper. 
  2. Divide the mixture into roughly 60 g portions (6 portions for 6 tacos). 
  3. Lay the tortillas flat on your work surface. 
  4. Spread a portion of meat directly on each tortilla, pressing it well to cover the entire surface, right to the edges. The beef must stick to the tortilla in a thin, even layer. 
  5. Preheat the barbeque to medium-high (about 450°F) and lightly oil a grill plate or the grill itself if you don’t have a plate. 
  6. Place the tacos on the barbeque, meat side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the meat is well done and crisp. 
  7. Carefully flip the tacos (tortilla side down), immediately add the cheese on top of the meat, and close the barbeque cover for about 1 minute to melt the cheese. 
  8. Remove the tacos from the grill. Top each one with iceberg lettuce, sliced pickles, a squirt of pickle mustard, and a bit of spicy pickle mayonnaise. 
  9. Fold the tacos in half and serve right away, while hot and crunchy.
