Cheesy Beef Smash Taco with Avocado, Tomato, Shallot & CilantroCheesy Beef Smash Taco with Avocado, Tomato, Shallot & Cilantro — a 22-minute snack recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ avocados

¾ small bunch cilantro

0.34 kg lean ground beef

1 shallot

1 cup shredded cheese, Mexican blend

6 small corn tortillas

1 ½ tomatoes

chili powder

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Small dice tomatoes. Place on a plate.

Halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and slice lengthwise into thin half-moons. Add to the plate with the tomato.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the plate and set aside.

Place beef, chili powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined.

Arrange tortillas on a flat surface, then divide the beef mixture between them. Using the back of a spoon (or your fingers), spread the beef mixture over the surface of each tortilla in an even layer.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches, add tacos to the skillet, meat-side down. Cook, pressing down once with the bottom of a spatula halfway through cooking, until the beef is cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Flip tacos, beef-side up, and sprinkle with cheese. Continue to cook until cheese is melted, 1 minute more. Transfer to another plate.

Meanwhile, peel and small dice shallot. Add to the plate with the other veggies.

To serve, divide smash tacos between plates. Top with tomato, cilantro, shallot, and avocado. Enjoy!
