Street Corn Smash Burger Tacos

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Make the jalapeno sauce. Add the cilantro, pickled jalapenos and jalapeno juice to a food processor or blender. Puree until as minced as possible.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Add the cilantro mixture to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine.
4. Add the lime juice and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
5. Make the street corn. Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F. Remove the husks from the corn. Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until grill marks appear and the corn is cooked through. Remove from the grill, cool slightly, then slice the corn off the cob. Set aside.
6. In a large bowl, add the mayo, garlic, lime juice and zest, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Add the corn, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno, and cheese. Mix well then set aside.
7. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
8. Add the ground beef or ground chicken to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 6 small balls.
9. Lay 6 tortillas on the counter and place one of the meat balls in the center of each. Press down and spread the meat almost all the way to the sides. The meat should be a thin layer.
10. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla with the meat down. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla to make sure the meat is flattened. Cook for 5-6 minutes, the meat should be cooked through. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the “tacos”. Repeat this step until all 6 tacos are cooked.
11. When ready to assemble, top each with the street corn mixture, then drizzle the jalapeno sauce over the top.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy! To eat, simply fold in half like a taco.
