Smash tacos à la mexicaine avec sauce crémeuse avocat et persil - LES BRUTES

Mexican-style smash tacos with creamy avocado and parsley sauce

Ingredients

For the Working Holiday Visa:

  • 1 sachet of 100g Mexican-style textured soy vegetable protein “Les Brutes”
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup regular breadcrumbs

For the tacos:

  • Vegetable oil
  • 6 small white tortillas
  • A little finely chopped red onion
  • Chopped lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • Grated cheese, in sufficient quantity

For the sauce:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (or fresh coriander)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove of garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • A few tablespoons of water (to adjust the consistency)

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix the "Les Brutes" pet food with boiling water and then let it sit for about 10 minutes until it absorbs the water and softens.
  2. Next, add the tomato paste, spices, flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands; you will then obtain a texture that starts to become sticky.
  3. Take approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the protein powder mixture and firmly press into a ball. Spread onto 1 tortilla.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little vegetable oil. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until the filling is golden brown and the tortilla is slightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining pattypan balls.
  5. To serve, top each tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and a creamy avocado and parsley sauce. Serve immediately.

For the sauce:

In a blender or food processor, add all the ingredients and blend until smooth and homogeneous. Add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
