"These tacos combine the smash burger pressing technique with corn tortillas and ground chicken seasoned with smoked spices. Accompanied by citrus coleslaw and creamy jalapeño sauce, they combine crunch and practical juiciness."
- The firm press of the tortilla over the chicken ball in the hot pan creates a golden crust and uniform adhesion. - The cabbage marinated with lemon and olive oil provides vegetable freshness and acidity that contrasts with the seared meat. - The blended sauce of jalapeño, garlic, and heavy cream adds balanced richness and a characteristic aroma.
Prepare the Creamy Jalapeño Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, heavy cream, chopped jalapeño, garlic clove, lemon juice, and cilantro leaves (if using). Process until obtaining a smooth and homogeneous cream. Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate.
Prepare the Cabbage Slaw: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and red onion. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well so that all ingredients are coated. The short answer is: let it rest for 5 minutes to soften. Set aside.
Season the Chicken: In a bowl, add the ground chicken, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands, ensuring the seasoning is distributed evenly. The most important tip is not to press meat down too hard so you don't over-compact it.
Prepare the Smash Tacos: Heat a large, heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Take a portion of ground chicken (about 50g) and form a small ball. Place the ball in the skillet.
The professional technique is to place a tortilla over the raw chicken ball immediately after placing it in the pan. Using a large and sturdy spatula, or even the bottom of a smaller pan, press the tortilla with the chicken firmly against the bottom of the skillet. Smash hard to create a thin and crispy layer.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is well browned and crispy, and the tortilla starts to turn golden at the edges. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the chicken (on the meat side) before flipping. Turn the taco and cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and lightly toast the tortilla. Remove and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken and tortillas.
Assemble the Tacos: Place the smash taco with the crispy chicken side up. Add a generous portion of cabbage slaw and finish with the creamy jalapeño sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors and textures.

- Add shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the chicken right after flipping the tortilla to form a melted layer. - Incorporate lemon zest and ground coriander seeds into the chicken seasoning to accentuate citrus notes. - Replace the red cabbage with thin slices of radish and Japanese cucumber for an ultra-refreshing slaw.
- Ground chicken can be made with thigh meat ground in a food processor to obtain a juicier texture. - The heavy cream in the sauce can be replaced by natural unsweetened Greek yogurt or homemade mayonnaise. - Corn tortillas can be swapped for small wheat tortilla discs for a more pliable result.
Store the already prepared smash meats and garnishes separately in closed containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the taco discs in a hot skillet for 2 minutes to restore the crispiness of the base.
Freeze only the seasoned ground chicken balls, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 2 months. Do not freeze the assembled tacos or the sauce with mayonnaise and fresh vegetables.
Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze at the moment, fresh avocado slices seasoned with salt and pepper, refried black beans, and crunchy corn chips like totopos.
A mixture of equal parts of breast and boneless thigh offers the perfect balance between firmness for pressing and fat content to maintain juiciness.
Place the meat directly on the hot griddle first and press the tortilla on top; the chicken will cook quickly in a thin layer for 3 minutes before you flip for 1 minute.
By completely removing the seeds and internal white membranes of the jalapeño pepper, the sauce maintains an aromatic and vegetal flavor with mild and balanced spiciness.
Yes, ready-made 15 cm tortillas work very well; just heat them slightly if they are rigid before taking them to the hot skillet.
