OK, you just cost me $500 or more. I have been on the fence to get one of these flat top grills, now I NEED one! Thank you for the recipe. Cannot wait to try it. Looks delicious..

Chopped tomatoes on top along the cilantro/onion... so a green salsa pairs well visually too.

Fat from the meat helps to “cook” the corn tortilla, making them hard and crunchy... the 75/25 ground meat is ideal.

Actually a dinner around these require a buffet of different salsas to combine the “picadillo tacos”

Just planning, preparation and these work well. Nice, and thanks

Loving the BBQ content. Especially since we're coming in to Summer here in Scotland, UK.

Gavin is nice, but there was room on that flat top for Chef Ashley to be there too!

Gringo Bandito hot sauce I love that stuff!

[Aeirilion]

Great recipe as always! I'd recommend lowering the music volume a bit so we can hear ur instructions better.

Looks 🔥! I would've put a light layer of cheese between the meat & tortillas to help it stick to that tortillas & also put some of that flavor sauce on the taco after it was folded for that extra 🤌!
Thanks for the inspiration!
