Notes

  • I manage to cook 2 tacos at once in my cast iron, but depending on the size of your pan, you can just do one at a time.
  • It’s important to smash the ground beef very thin and to use a very hot pan. If not, the tortilla may get a bit soggy. 
  • These work with both corn and flour tortillas – I tried them with both and they were both equally delicious!
