00:00Have you seen those viral smash burger tacos? Me too. Let's level them up.
00:10One thing I noticed watching these videos is I don't feel like they're getting the meat as
00:13seasoned as they could. So we're going to grab our skull and mortar all-purpose rub. Really for beef,
00:18all you need is a good SPG rub. So if you have one that you prefer, that's great. If not,
00:23this
00:23should be available on the website soon. Let us win over your business with our high quality
00:28product. And we're just going to mash it in. We're just going to repeat this process until I feel
00:32like it's good enough. An SPG rub really brings out the flavor of beef. So I think that I'm good
00:43with
00:43that right now. So next, what we're going to do is we're just going to roll these guys into balls,
00:47simple smash burgers economics, if you will. Now you can measure these if you want, but we're doing
00:52roughly one quarter pound. I'm just eyeballing it, but feel free to use your scale if you have
00:57one. Guys, I'm going to go ahead and hit the balls one more time with just a little more seasoning.
01:04It's going to help with that crust when we drop them on. And that's it. That's all the prep this
01:09stage of the recipe is going to take. All right, so we're going to go ahead and drop our burgers.
01:14Let's get them seasoned side down. Give them lots of space because remember, you're going to hit the
01:19tortilla on them and you're going to smash them out.
01:28All right, now we're just going to let those cook like that for just a few minutes and then we're
01:32going to flip them over. And now we're just going to go ahead and flip our burgers. And if it's
01:39done,
01:39you should get a nice release. Hopefully you don't F up your tortilla shell like I just did.
02:01So far, so good, man. And now we're just going to let that other side cook. We're going to give
02:05it a minute or two, and then we're going to go ahead and hit it with our cheese and proceed
02:09to put the finishing touches on here. Guys, you can use shredded cheese. You can use sliced cheese,
02:15whatever kind of cheese you want. I don't know. You can grate some parmesan. It doesn't really
02:19matter. We're going with some sharp cheddar. I think that it's going to melt easier. That's why
02:25I went this route, but you feel free to do whatever you like. All right, guys, I think that we're
02:30ready
02:31now to go ahead and take these off. We're going to drop them in our taco form, and then we're
02:36going to
02:36go dress these bad boys up. Guys, now it's time to dress these up. That went a little quicker than
02:45I
02:45expected. We're just going to hit these with some Big Mac sauce, some special sauce. I'm going to put
02:50it all to one side like an a-hole. Some of that special Big Mac sauce. Sure, we'll just plop
02:58it
02:58everywhere like a bunch of assholes. Then we're going to hit it with some of our favorite Big Mac
03:02toppings. We got some lettuce. We got some fresh onion.
03:23And then we have some hand-chopped skull and mortar pickles, which will be available
03:28in our store in Whiteland. Guys, come and see us. I'll be in and out of there all the time,
03:33so you can meet me. We can hang out. We can be buds, man. Get some pictures. I don't know.
03:38Hold
03:38hands. Whatever you want to do, guys. This is it. This is the taco. Look at that.
03:50That thing looks amazing. The shell is crisp. It's been fried in the grease from that burger.
03:55Come on, dog. Guys, the only thing left to do is to taste these and see, did we nail
04:01the viral TikTok smash burger taco? Let's go.
04:12Holy shit. I'm at a loss for words. This is honestly one of the best things we've ever cooked.

04:34Guys, the mix of the burger, the seasoning in the burger, the cheese, the fresh pickles,
04:40the fresh onion. It's salty. It's savory. It's crisp. It's fresh. It's greasy. It's all these textures,
04:47man. This thing right here. I don't know why somebody didn't think of this sooner, but the
