These Smash Dumpling Tacos are a fusion of Mexican and Asian flavors, with a crispy, savory pork filling wrapped in a thin tortilla and topped with fresh vegetables and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale

Pork Filling:

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 4 small green onions (very finely chopped, about ¼ cup)
  • 4 garlic cloves minced (about 4 teaspoons)
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Additional Ingredients:

  • 8 small (street taco) flour tortillas
  • Thinly sliced cabbage
  • Shredded carrots
  • Chopped green onion
  • Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Mix: Place the pork in a medium bowl. Top with the vinegar, soy sauce, green onion, garlic, ginger, and salt. Mix gently to combine.
  2. Spread: Place a tortilla on a work surface. Scoop one-eighth of the filling into the center, then spread it into a thin, even layer. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Smash: Heat a skillet, place a tortilla meat-side down, then smash the tortilla into the meat using a spatula. Cook until browned and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Crisp: Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more. Serve with toppings.
