The beef and the seasoning list
Add the smoked paprika, baking powder, chicken bouillon powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, instant coffee and black pepper to the beef.
Mixing the spiced beef
  • 500 g white onion
Add the diced white onion, green chilies and bell pepper and mix everything together by hand.
Portioning 110 g balls
Form the mix into 110 gram balls, about four ounces each.
Variation: the original recipe uses about 20% lamb with the beef; the restaurant serves it 100% beef.
Pressing through the tortilla
  • tortillas
Put a ball on the preheated griddle, lay a tortilla on top of it and press down with a griddle press so the beef takes the shape of the tortilla.

Add a little beef tallow on top.
Once a smash burger crust has formed on the bottom, flip the taco over and crisp the tortilla.
Flipping, crisping and cheese
  • white American cheese
Add cheese on the inside, let it melt, then fold.
