Info and tips for crispy smash dumpling tacos

Crispy smash dumpling tacos are a super fun fusion idea that brings together potstickers and street tacos!

When making the dumpling meat mixture, try not to overmix. Overmixing the ground pork can lead to a tough, dense, and less tender texture. Make sure you use a good pan that’s been pre heated well so that the dumpling tacos don’t stick. Its important to not move the taco around to much, you wanna let it sit and develop a nice sear. A little drizzle of oil will also help you get that golden caramelization!

Some other fun topping ideas are cucumbers or kimchi! You could also use scallion pancakes instead of a tortilla for an even more fun and creative idea!

Equipment

I used my Our Place Pan to fry the dumpling tacos. I enjoy using it because so far nothing sticks, and they are very versatile!
