Smash Dumpling Tacos

When you’re craving dumplings but don’t want to fuss with the wrappers, make Smash Dumpling Tacos! The filling from my favorite Pork Dumplings pressed onto tortillas and griddled until crispy, they’re a fun way to change up taco night.
Smash Tacos with an Asian Twist.
Ever since making Smash Tacos, I’ve been in love with the process.
It’s such an easy way to use ground meat, the sear is incredibly satisfying, and the tortilla gets extra crispy (aka DELICIOUS).
If, like me, you rely on Ground Beef Tacos for quick, last-minute dinners, the next time you are wondering what to make, change it up with this dumpling-inspired recipe.
The filling is a gingery ground pork just like dumplings, but instead of painstakingly folding wonton wrappers (which isn’t something most of us have time for on an average weeknight), you press it onto tortillas, then sear on both sides.
Finish with crispy veggies and sesame seeds, and you have the yummiest street-food style dinner that’s ready in 30 minutes or less!
