Ingredients

Chili powder1 tsp
Cumin0.5 tsp
Salt1 tsp
Cheddar Crust
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese150 g
Jalapeno, thinly sliced into rounds1 medium
Spicy Crema
Sour cream60 g

Method
Spicy Crema
1

Smashed Beef
2
Season the ground chuck with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Roll into two tight, equal-sized balls.
Cheddar Crust
3
Heat a seasoned cast-iron skillet or flattop griddle over medium-high heat. Scatter the shredded cheddar cheese directly onto the hot surface in two equal circular piles. Immediately press several jalapeno slices into the melting cheese.
Sear and Plate
4
Place a beef ball directly on top of each melting cheese pile. Use a heavy spatula (and a second tool to press down) to smash the beef ball flat into the cheese, spreading it thin. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese underneath is deeply browned and incredibly crispy. Carefully flip the entire taco with a sturdy spatula to quickly sear the beef side for 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in half like a taco shell while hot, drizzle with spicy crema, and serve.
