Could THIS be the BEST WAY to make TACOS?!

Raw ground beef on a fresh tortilla? I'm not so sure about that. Let's make the viral cheeseburger tacos.
So the preparation for these burger tacos is kind of why we're a little skeptical about this recipe.
So what I'm seeing people do is just get a nice little ball of hamburger meat and then press it
down on a tortilla. And realistically that just seems a little, I don't even know if the word is
gross to me, maybe I'm thinking unsanitary. I'm not too sure, but it just doesn't seem like
something that we would typically do. And when I'm watching people make these on TikTok,
when I'm looking through the comments, I'm actually seeing a lot of people saying the
same exact thing, but everybody that's making them makes them look so delicious in the end
that we knew we had to try this. Now I've also seen people do this a few different ways, but
I actually liked the way that I saw somebody do this when they just evenly spreaded it out
throughout the whole tortilla. And the reason is because I saw some people do like a smashburger
style and then the patty ended up being really small in comparison with the whole tortilla.
And of course I want meat in every single bite that I've got here. So if you look really closely
again, you'll see that there's a nice thin layer of that hamburger meat. I already know that this
doesn't look right, but I think in the end it is going to look it. So let's move on with the recipe.
And now, because we want this to taste like a hamburger, we're going to season it up like a
hamburger. We're going to start with Killer Hog's AP Seasoning. I just want a nice good coat over this
hamburger meat. And now on top of that AP, we're going to add a nice layer of Killer Hog's Steak Rub.
These two seasonings are going to add a nice salty flavor here, and of course there's going to be
that texture. I'll put a link in the description below. Today we're cooking on our Weber Grills
28 inch griddle, and I have all of my burners on medium heat. I'm just going to throw these right
in the middle. You guys can hear a nice little sizzle there, and I'm going to set a timer for
four minutes. I just want to make sure to get these nice and fully cooked before we flip them over.
And I know I told you guys four minutes, but since we have not done this recipe before,
it's been two and a half minutes, and I'm just going to go ahead and flip one of these
to see where we're at. And I'll tell you what, that looks really good. That looks really good
actually. I would say that four minutes is probably a little bit too long, because that right there
is looking like it's going to be fully cooked in just a minute. Let's go ahead and flip the other
one over. Oh yeah, those are looking incredible. You see a nice little crust here on this burger.
Don't forget, we didn't smash it down so we don't have that full my artery action, but it still
looks absolutely incredible. And while we're at it, we're going to go ahead and add some cheese
right here to the top of this hamburger meat, and I'm going to be completely honest with you guys.
Let me stop my timer. I think just a few things are going wrong with this cook so far.
So one thing that I will say is it looks like there's too much oil on the surface itself. I
don't think that this necessarily needs that much oil, because as you're cooking this burger,
it is releasing those juices and kind of creating it itself. You can see right here on the outside
of these tortillas, it's really not looking that good. It's looking a little bit too soggy,
if you ask me. Let's go ahead and let this cheese melt. We'll start this process again,
and we will nail these tacos. Okay, our cheese is nice and melted around a minute and a half later,
so we're just going to start building our tacos. I'm going to put a little bit of lettuce here.
Then we're going to go some pickles. I like extra. Then we're going to go over top with
some nice yellow mustard. I like extra mustard too. And here is phase one of our taco burger.
Again, off the bat, what I'm seeing right here is it looks like there's a little bit too much
oil going on. The tortilla may be a little bit soggy, but let's take a quick bite and see how
everything turned out. I wanted to show you guys really quickly what the bottom of this tortilla
looks like, and I will say that it actually looks pretty good. Barring all the grease that's on
there, it does look pretty good. You guys can see it right here in the camera, but now let's take a
quick bite. Got my plate here. I'm going to try and fold this in half. Why does everything I make
look so big all the time? That's probably why I'm big. This is humongous. This looks humongous.
Okay, let's take a quick bite. I think it's going to be hot.
I'm not even going to front. I actually don't think we need to change anything on that at all.
Originally I did, but the tortilla is actually nice and crunchy. So I thought there was going
to be too much oil, but I think it actually kind of added that crunch to it. It almost fried the
tortilla, made it into a little bit of a shell-like texture, and it just turned out really, really
good. So some of the tortilla came off right here, and you guys can see that the meat is actually
cooked completely perfectly. It's completely juicy still. If you guys take a look at that taco,
it is completely filled. Just looks absolutely incredible. So we're actually going to remake
these, but I don't think we need to. We did two minutes on the meat side, flipped them over,
let the cheese melt, and they built our burgers exactly the way we wanted to. We will make a
little bit more of these just so we can eat for dinner, but I've got an idea to make something
even better than these hamburger tacos. So come on inside, let's look in the fridge. The other
day we got some stuff to make an epic breakfast. I've got some Whataburger sausage here. I of
course have some Simply Potatoes, the shredded hash browns. I think that we can make a breakfast taco
exactly the same way we just made that burger. It's going to be super duper delicious.
So like I just talked a second ago, we want to make this a little bit more epic. So we're going
to start off with some grilled vegetables. We're putting these on first because they will take just
a minute. Don't drop your platter right on your griddle. That can definitely cause some melting.
We just want to get these nice and sauteed. This will take a few minutes. Move everything around.
And I wish you guys could smell this because it just smells incredible. And it's only one component
of what we're making here. Now I'm going to put a little bit of bacon up over here in one corner.
I don't want this oil all over, but I definitely want some here. And then we're going to throw
down some of these mashed potatoes. I'm sorry, we're going to throw down some of these hash browns.
I don't know why I said mashed potatoes. Just going to go ahead and spread these out nice and even.
We don't need too much. We definitely want this to still look like a taco. I still want it to be
foldable. So while I do want there to be hash browns in my bite, I don't want it to be too thick.
So I'm going with a light layer here. I'm also going to go ahead and hit the top of this with a
little bit of AP as well. And we'll let both of these hang out for just a little bit. I'm not
going to start the other components of the cook just for a few minutes because I know these are
going to take the longest to cook. Our grilled veggies are almost where we want them. So now I
just kind of want to take a look at our hash browns. So just to make sure, I'm going to go ahead and
cut them in half. And I'm going to flip one side. We're going to take a look at how done it is.
If it's completely done, we know the other part is good and we can flip it. But if it's not,
of course, we can just kind of judge and base our flip off of that. So real quick. Okay,
that's looking good to me. I mean, I could say that I probably want a little bit more texture
than that. So we'll let this go for another three to five minutes and then we'll flip it over and
we'll get them all cooked together. Now for our breakfast version of this cheeseburger taco,
instead of using the ground beef, we're going to be using that Whataburger sausage. I'm going to do
the same thing. I'm just going to start with this ground sausage here. I'm going to flatten it out.
Nice layer. And just make sure to get a nice even coat on both of these tortillas. Now I'm just
going to go over top very, very lightly with some AP. And now it's time to go straight onto the
griddle. Just like before, I just want to smash this down just a little. Just a few minutes later,
we're going to go ahead and flip. Oh my gosh, that looks so flipping good. Holy smokes, that for
sure looks way better than the burger did. I think we got a little bit better surface contact there
and it just looks outrageous. So because we're going, so because we're going, oh my gosh, there's
no way. All right, we're going to keep going. Okay, because we're going breakfast-themed on
this one, oh my gosh, I can't believe that just happened. Now I'm afraid to crack the egg. Okay,
we're going to start with one over easy egg here. How did I do that? That literally cracked
perfectly and went straight down the side. Is it down here? It actually didn't even go through.
All good. All gravy. I'm going to add a tiny bit of AP over top. That looks good. We're going to
go ahead and put some cheese right over top of our breakfast sausage. I'm going to let that get
nice and melty. I'm going to flip this over easy egg and we're going to let that cook for just a
few seconds. Okay, one over easy egg is done and we're going to go ahead and start on one more.
Little AP. I'm going to go ahead and take off our sauteed veggies. Now we want to flip our over easy
egg. Got it, baby. I can cook a lot of things, but an over easy egg is definitely not always
one of them. Give that just a few seconds. That looks incredible. I don't even know what to say.
What I'm going to do here is I'm going to get some of our sauteed onions and peppers,
put it on both of these here. I'm going to put a nice little sliver of our potatoes right on top.
We're going to go ahead and top with one of our over easy eggs.
And right here is our breakfast burger taco. I personally think this is going to be much
better than the original, but of course, now it's time to try. Now, one of the things that I will
say is a lot of people are arguing that these are tostadas. And I think if you leave it like this,
then it definitely is. But the way people are eating them is they're actually folding them up
and that turns it into that taco. So this one's going to be a little, oh, it's so crunchy and
crispy under that it's almost about to bust and just fall apart. But
let's please not let that happen. Another huge bite.
That right there is the winner winner chicken dinner. 1 million percent. This one tastes better
than the original. The original was delicious. This right here just brings out that deliciousness,
the pork flavor, the hash browns, the texture from there, the grilled and sauteed. Well,
the grilled or sauteed or the grilled jalapenos and the onions just taste so good. Of course,
the over easy egg on top, RIP to that one little egg. But this one turned out so incredible. The
tortilla is perfect. Just absolutely perfect. You guys want to keep it flat and eat it like
a tostada? That's completely fine. We decided to turn it into tacos. And I'll tell you what,
the viral trend. Hey, it works. It tastes really good. You guys try it for yourself.
If you have already tried it, let me know in the comments down below. How do you make it?
Does it taste good? And what would you do to make this a little bit better? Also,
do you think it's gross to put the raw meat right on the tortilla? I definitely did.
But after eating this, I have no complaints. As always, we really appreciate you guys tuning
into this video. Once again, RIP to that little egg. Thanks and we'll see you on the next one.
