Smashed Dumpling Tacos

11/1/2025

The internet wanted me to try this recipe. I have been served up so many recipes like this one where you create the protein mixture, spread it directly onto the tortilla, and then cook the tortilla face down in a skillet. I just had to give this a try in the Delaney Test Kitchen if for no other reason that it looked so delicious. And it was!  This was fun to both make and eat.

In terms of serving sizes, I found that the 1 lb of pork, once mixed with everything, 9 tacos total, or 3 tacos each for the three of us at dinner that evening.

Definitely give this one a try - I am so glad we did!

    It doesn't matter how successful you are or how long your day is - there is only one question when you get home: what's for dinner? That is why I am always on the lookout for recipes that won't take more that 30 minutes to prepare, that are flavorful, and that (almost) everyone will eat.
