Smashed tacos are about delivering bold flavours and bringing out that perfect crunchy texture. You add a big spoonful of filling straight onto the tortilla, then put it in the pan on high heat for a few seconds. That is when you get an irresistible crunchy crust. They make perfect weeknight meals or a fun way to experiment with new flavours in the kitchen.
