Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices bacon, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, for the cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup, for the sauce
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, for the sauce

fremgangsmåte
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the red cabbage, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss well and set aside to pickle while you prepare the meatloaf.
  • Heat the smoker to 250°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped bacon, panko, egg, onion, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact, low loaf on a piece of foil or a smoker-safe tray. Place it in the smoker and cook until the center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • While the meatloaf cooks, stir together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon ketchup, and 1 teaspoon mustard in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet, turning once, until soft and pliable. Keep them covered so they stay warm.
  • Transfer the cooked meatloaf to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Break it into small chunks with a fork. Drain the pickled cabbage.
  • Divide the meatloaf among the warm tortillas. Add shredded cheddar and pickled cabbage, then drizzle with the burger-style sauce. Serve right away while the tortillas are warm.

For the best taco texture, shape the meatloaf no more than about 2 inches thick so it cooks evenly and is easy to crumble. Let the cabbage pickle for at least 20 minutes if you want a tangier crunch, and drain it well before adding it to the tortillas so they stay sturdy.
