Here I’ll show you how to make the most irresistible sausage tacos in the world!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Folks, these are dangerous. Not only are they perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they go down a treat any day of the year. They’re so easy to make too. Good luck not eating the whole batch! Follow me…<\/p>\n

Crispy Potatoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I first tested these I actually didn’t include the potatoes (I know, who even am I?!). But I instantly knew they needed some crispy potato. Because what food realistically isn’t enhanced when sprinkled with mini crispy potatoes?!<\/p>\n

These are pretty similar to my Parmentier Potatoes<\/a> – just dice up a potato, coat in oil and seasoning then roast until crispy. Whilst these are roasting away you can then crack on with the rest of the recipe.<\/p>\n

Process shots: add diced potato to baking tray (photo 1), add oil and seasoning (photo 2), mix (photo 3), roast (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Smash Tacos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These are pretty similar to the viral Big Mac smash tacos you may have seen flying around the internet. You essentially just spread ground meat over one side of a tortilla, fry it meat-side-down then stack it up like a taco. This is a nifty trick for getting a nice crust on ground meat<\/strong>, whilst keeping it juicy<\/strong> and reducing the cooking time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What kind of tortillas should I use?<\/em><\/h3>\n

I like to use flour tortillas and slice them into mini tortillas. You can also use the street market tortillas that most supermarkets sell, I just find the flour ones slightly more pliable.<\/p>\n

What kind of sausage should I use?<\/em><\/h3>\n

I use plain Cumberland pork sausages, but you could use different ones (so long as they’re pork). Something sagey\/herby would be a nice festive twist. If you’re in the US I imagine breakfast sausage would work best here.<\/p>\n

Frying the tacos<\/h3>\n

When it comes to frying the tacos, you\u2019ll want to start off with a dash of oil for the first one, then I typically just use the excess fat from each one to continue<\/strong>. There should be plenty of fat in the sausages. You\u2019ll want to fry them meat-side-down until they build up a crust<\/strong> and are no longer pink (you can lift the tortilla to check).<\/p>\n

Process shots: spread meat over tortilla (photos 1&2), fry (photo 3), flip then add brie (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sausage Tacos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You’ll want to fry the tacos for 30 seconds or so once you flip them, just to ensure the meat has cooked through and to melt the brie slightly. Brie melts very easily and will continue melting as you serve up.<\/p>\n

From there, I go in with crispy bacon<\/strong>, the crispy potatoes<\/strong> and some cranberry sauce<\/strong> to tie it all together.<\/p>\n

Sausage Smash Tacos FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How do I know when they’re cooked?<\/em><\/h3>\n

The sausage should have built up a nice crust and no longer be pink on either side (you can lift the tortilla to check). The meat is very thin so it shouldn’t take long.<\/p>\n

When should I cook the bacon?<\/em><\/h3>\n

I bake it in the oven since we’re baking the potatoes anyway. You can also pan-fry it before you fry the tacos.<\/p>\n

Can I use regular sausage meat?<\/em><\/h3>\n

If you don’t want to squeeze the meat from sausages you can use a pack of regular sausage meat yes.<\/p>\n
