Smashburger Crunchwrap
You read that right. Taco Bell and Shake Shack just had a baby.
One of my most popular recipes is my smashburger recipe. It puts Shake Shack and the like to shame. Not to toot my own horn, but it’s a masterclass in how to make the best burger at home.
Now something you may not know about me, I live and die for Taco Bell. It is above and beyond the best fast food on the planet. I understand the sacrifice I make by putting it into my body and the after effects and you know what? It’s worth it every single time.
But as I sat down to come up with some new recipes, an idea struck… I had recently eaten both Taco Bell and a smashburger… what if I put those two things together? A smashburger crunchwrap seems so obvious that I’m annoyed it took me this long to think of it.
I am not taking credit for this idea. I am almost positive it has been done before, but the difference is it takes my already awesome smashburger recipe and combines it with a fast-food favorite. Top it all with my knock-off Shack Sauce and this will be added to your weekly rotation instantly.
