Prep Time: 15 mins

Total Time: 40 mins

Serves: 4 tacos

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, red onion, vinegar, sugar and half the salt and pepper. Squeeze and massage about 2 min. to soften the cabbage and quick pickle the slaw. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Tip: Make up to a day ahead.)

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the ground beef and taco seasoning. Divide into 4 portions; roll each into a ball. Place a ball in the centre of each tortilla. Cover with a piece of parchment or waxed paper and press the meat mixture into a flat even layer reaching the edges of the tortilla. (Tips: Use the bottom of a heavy pan or mug to press. These can be made up to 4 hr. ahead and chilled.)

Step 3

Brush the meat mixture with canola oil and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat, meat-side down, 5 to 6 min., or until the beef is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F). Flip over and grill about 30 sec. to lightly toast the tortillas. (Tip: Alternatively, cook in a frypan.)

Step 4

Plate tacos meat-side up (smash mixture will stick to the tortillas). Top with quick pickle slaw, taco sauce, tomatoes, avocado, feta and green onions. Fold over to serve, if desired. Enjoy!
