Weeknight dinner doesn’t have to mean choosing between easy and made with ingredients you can feel good about. These Italian-Inspired Smashburger Tacos put a fun twist on two familiar favorites, using Plant Strong Portobello Burger Mix and Pizza Sauce to bring burger night and pizza night together in one simple meal.
The Portobello Burger Mix brings beans and whole grains to the table, while bell pepper, red onion, and pepperoncini add fresh flavor, color, and texture. A spoonful of Pizza Sauce brings in that familiar Italian-inspired flavor and ties everything together. The result is part smashburger, part taco, part pizza, and an easy dinner that feels a little more exciting than your usual weeknight rotation.
Even better, these tacos come together in about 20 minutes from start to finish. Simply prepare the Portobello Burger Mix, press it onto tortillas smashburger-style, and cook until everything is hot and golden. Then add the Pizza Sauce and pile on your toppings. There’s no complicated prep, long ingredient list, or hours of cooking required.
This recipe is also an easy way to get creative with the Plant Strong Dinner Done Bundle. Instead of serving burgers and pizza separately, you can use the same pantry staples to make something completely unexpected. Keep the basic recipe as-is, or customize your tacos with your favorite vegetables and toppings depending on what you already have on hand.
For busy nights when you want something quick but don’t want to fall back on the same dinner again, these Italian-Inspired Smashburger Tacos check all the boxes. They’re crispy, saucy, loaded with flavor, and easy enough to make even when you’re short on time.
Serve them straight from the pan with a simple salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite weeknight side for a complete meal. In just 20 minutes, the Plant Strong Dinner Done Bundle goes from pantry staple to a mashup of pizza, burgers, and tacos that makes weeknight dinner a lot more fun.
