Blackstone Smashed Greek Tacos
Today I recreated Blackstone Betty’s recipe for Blackstone Smashed Greek Tacos!
She is the absolute QUEEN of Blackstone griddle cooking!
I changed her recipe slightly to make it more of an easy weeknight meal, but you can watch her full video on YouTube.
How to make Blackstone Smashed Greek Tacos
First, we will season a pound of ground lamb, chicken, or turkey.
A teaspoon each of paprika and oregano, a little dried dill, kosher salt, and pepper.
Then about 2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese and some finely minced or grated garlic.
Give that a mix and then roll them into 8 balls.
I find this easiest to do with my hands or you could use an ice cream scoop.
For the feta cucumber relish start by slicing 3 mini cucumbers.
Then add some pickled red onions, a little brine from the onions, more feta, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
Then preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium.
Add some cooking oil of choice and the ground, seasoned meat.
Be sure to space them apart slightly.
And top each with a soft taco sized flour tortilla.
Then use a burger press to smash them flat, slightly twisting the press.
Give them a flip after 4 minutes using a spatula.
And top with some store-bought tzatziki and the gorgeous feta cucumber relish.
I sure hope I made Blackstone Betty proud in recreating her recipe for Blackstone Smashed Greek Tacos!
They are almost too pretty to eat!
