Middle Eastern Smash Tacos with Tahini Sauce

35 min
2 portions

All the flavors of arayes but in taco form — crispy meat pressed right into the tortilla, topped with tangy sumac salad.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the ground beef, grated onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the sumac salad by combining chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and sliced red onion in a bowl. Toss with red wine vinegar, sumac, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    For the tahini sauce, blend tahini, honey, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and water in a small blender until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.

  4. 4

    Spread 3-4 tablespoons of the meat mixture in an even layer on each tortilla. Heat a pan over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Place each tortilla meat-side down in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes, pressing down with a heavy object so the meat doesn't shrink and cooks evenly. Flip and cook 1 minute more.

  6. 6

    Assemble the tacos with sumac salad on top and plenty of tahini sauce.
