Welcome back everyone to Katherine's
0:02
Plates. I'm Katherine. Today, let's make
0:06
breakfast smashed tacos. Don't those
0:09
sound delicious. We're going to crisp up
0:11
tortillas.
0:13
We're going to brown up some sausage.
0:16
You're going to make the eggs any way
0:18
you want. If you want to fry them,
0:20
scramble them, make an omelette out of
0:22
them, whatever. We're going to season
0:24
salt and pepper. Got some butter over
0:27
here. We've got some cheese. I got to
0:30
grate it up because I can't find my
0:31
sliced cheese, but whatever you got.
0:34
You're going to top it with whatever you
0:37
like. We're going to be using pico. All
0:40
right, we're going to wipe all this off.
0:41
We're going to get started because it's
0:43
going to come together pretty quickly.
0:46
All right, I'm just putting a wet paper
0:48
towel underneath my cutting board. We're
0:50
just going to use that as our work
0:52
surface.
0:54
Let's talk about the tortillas. Now,
0:56
these are the standard size. They're the
0:58
fajita size tortilla, which is around 6
1:01
to 7 in
1:03
in diameter all the way around.
1:08
Now, I'm making two of these today for
1:11
Thomas and I. We'll have one each, but
1:15
make as many as you want.
1:21
Thomas has other things going on today
1:24
at the Rational Reviewer channel, so go
1:26
check it out.
1:27
So, we can't eat too much and get too
1:29
full for breakfast.
1:33
Okay, let's talk about the sausage. Now,
1:36
I am using Jimmy Dean regular. This is a
1:41
pork sausage. I like this because it's a
1:44
breakfast sausage and it just has a lot
1:46
of flavor in it. Now, it comes in
1:48
regular or you can get the hot. You can
1:51
get the maple or you can even do the
1:53
sage. Whatever flavor you like. It's 16
1:57
ounces. I put it in a bowl so I can just
1:59
break it up. You're gonna need about 4
2:02
ounces per tortilla.
2:07
So, we're going to take some about 4
2:10
ounces of it and we're going to put it
2:11
in the middle of our tortilla.
2:14
Now, you're going to mash your sausage
2:18
nice and even across the tortilla. And
2:20
you want to go end to end because it'll
2:22
shrink a little bit. And you want to
2:25
make your sure you have enough sausage
2:28
on your ends.
2:30
You want it nice and thin.
2:32
Just like that.
2:35
And if you need more, get more. All
2:38
right, I'm going to do this one here.
2:46
There we go. Now, we'll use that for
2:48
something else later.
2:54
All right.
2:56
What flavor are you using? The regular
2:59
has some flavor to it. So,
3:02
but I bet that maple one would be really
3:04
good.
3:06
All right, we're going to fry these up.
3:09
Now, to fry these up, you can use a
3:13
skillet or you can use a griddle, which
3:15
I'm going to be using, or you can even
3:17
use your black stone if you have one.
3:20
Now, we've been toying with getting a
3:22
black stone. If you think we should and
3:24
we could do a lot of recipes on it, let
3:26
us know. If you need recipe ideas for
3:28
that, okay, we're going to turn our
3:30
skillet onto a mediumigh heat. We're
3:33
going to add one tablespoon of butter to
3:35
it and just slather it all around and
3:37
get it nice and hot. Now, a 350 on my
3:41
griddle is a mediumigh heat.
3:45
So, we're going to add our butter. Just
3:46
one tablespoon. It'll add some nice
3:49
flavor and help crisp up that tortilla.
3:54
I'm just going to take my brush here.
3:57
Cover the whole surface, whatever you're
4:00
working with. Now, it is going to
4:02
release some grease from the sausage,
4:05
but I find that Jimmy Dean sausage
4:08
doesn't release a lot of grease, so
4:11
we're going to add some here. Prevent
4:13
stickage.
4:15
Oh, yeah. That looks good.
4:16
Stickage. stickage.
4:21
Now, these won't take very long to cook.
4:24
You're going to take your tortilla
4:27
and then what we're going to do is we're
4:28
going to flip it onto our surface.
4:33
Looking for a nice sizzle going on. I
4:35
think we have it.
4:39
There we go. Now, these are going to
4:41
cook about 3 to four minutes once it
4:43
gets a little hotter. But it also
4:45
depends on how much sausage you have on
4:48
your tortilla and the thickness of it.
4:50
So it might take longer, but we want it
4:52
nice and kind of cooked all the way
4:54
through.
4:57
Golden brown. Oh, did y'all hear that
4:58
sizzle? There we go. Peek at them every
5:01
now and then before we flip them. All
5:03
that pink has to be gone. Now I'm just
5:06
going to flatten it down while it's
5:08
cooking. Make sure it's all nice and
5:10
even. Doesn't bowl up on you in the
5:13
middle.
5:17
Let's see what it looks like.
5:20
Yeah, it's getting there. Keep an eye on
5:23
it. All right, I'm going to take a peek
5:25
really quick. Oh, yeah. What we're going
5:27
to do is flip them over. We got to get
5:30
that tortilla right here. Nice and
5:32
crispy. We're going to flip it over.
5:34
Cook it for one minute or less. Look at
5:38
that.
5:39
[Music]
5:44
Oh yeah.
5:49
Yeah. You can tell when it starts
5:50
curving up a little bit on the edges.
5:53
It's going to give it a nice crispiness.
5:54
Huh.
5:56
All right.
5:58
We're going to go ahead and remove
5:59
these. I'm going to turn it over real
6:00
quick. Yeah. Look at that.
6:06
Take it off and we're going to remove it
6:08
to back to our cutting board.
6:16
Now, I'm going to turn off my heat for
6:17
just a minute so it's not too hot when
6:19
we cook the eggs. And then we'll turn it
6:21
back on when we're ready, once we get
6:22
our eggs scrambled up.
6:26
All right,
6:31
we'll let those sit there for a minute.
6:32
Let's make the eggs. So, I'm just taking
6:35
a wet paper towel and taking some of the
6:37
grease off of my griddle here.
6:41
All right, I've got one egg, two eggs,
6:44
and three eggs going into my bowl.
6:49
Show off.
6:51
Hey, there we go.
6:53
Salt
6:56
and some black pepper.
7:01
Get a fork. We're going to whisk them
7:03
up.
7:06
Now, this is where you can make any egg
7:08
you want to. If you want to fry your
7:11
eggs up over, easy, hard, however you
7:14
like them, scramble them up. Or if you
7:16
like to make a little omelette, you can
7:18
do that. Now, I've got my griddle heated
7:21
back up. I've put it at a 300 cuz it's
7:23
super hot already. We're going to add a
7:26
little bit of butter.
7:28
There we go. Get that work surface nice
7:32
and covered. And then we're going to add
7:34
our eggs to it. Now, we're doing three
7:36
eggs because we have the two tortillas.
7:39
And we love our eggs.
7:46
All right, let us know what kind of eggs
7:48
do you like. What are you going to put
7:50
on yours? Now, we've got some cheese
7:52
that we grated. All right, we're going
7:54
to turn off the burner and we'll put
7:56
cheese right across the top.
7:59
I'm just going to put a lid on. Help
8:01
melt that cheese. All right, I'm going
8:03
to cut this in half.
8:09
There we go.
8:18
Right there. Top of the sausage.
8:21
Halfway.
8:33
I like the pico. This is mild. It's got
8:35
the tomatoes, onions, a little jalapeno,
8:39
probably some lime juice, some red onion
8:40
I saw in there. You can put whatever you
8:43
want. Green onions if you want to do
8:46
that. I'm loading it cuz it is mild.
8:55
There's our breakfast smashed taco.
8:59
Look how delicious that looks. Y'all
9:02
ready for a bite?
9:12
That was a delicious bite.
9:14
You got your grilled tortilla with the
9:16
sausage, eggs, any way you like. Pop it
9:20
the way you like it. Don't forget the
9:22
cheese. Give me a thumbs up on this. If
