Smash Sausage Tacos

Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bacon (cut into 1‑inch strips)
• 2 cup Frozen Hash Browns (thawed slightly for easier smashing)
• 1/2 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder (optional for extra flavor)
• 1/4 tsp Onion Powder (optional)
• 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces, for greasing edges)
• 2 pieces Flour Tortillas (8‑inch, preferably soft)
• 2 link Breakfast Sausage Links (about 4 oz total, preferably pork)
• 2 pieces Large Eggs (break yolks for a runny center)
• 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (loosely packed, washed)
• 2 tbsp Chipotle Sauce (e.g., Chagos chipotle sauce)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Griddle

   Turn the Blackstone griddle to medium‑high heat (about 350°F) and let it preheat for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

2. Cook the Bacon

   Lay the bacon strips on the griddle, cooking until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper‑towel lined plate.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

3. Season and Cook Hash Browns

   Add 1 tbsp butter around the edges of the griddle, then place small piles of frozen hash browns. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Smash each pile with a spatula and cook until the edges turn golden brown, then flip and repeat.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 350°F

4. Sauté Sausage and Toast Tortillas

   Place the sausage links on the griddle. Immediately lay the tortillas on top, toasted side down, pressing the sausage with the spatula to flatten ("smash"). Cook until the sausage is browned through, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Cook the Eggs

   In the open corners of the hash brown area, crack the eggs and break the yolks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the whites set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Melt the Cheese

   Flip the hash browns (with the eggs) to finish cooking the other side. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar over the top and allow it to melt, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Assemble the Tacos

   Place each toasted tortilla (smashed‑sausage side up) on a plate. Spoon the hash brown‑egg mixture onto the tortilla, top with fresh spinach, and drizzle chipotle sauce. Add the crisp bacon pieces as a final garnish.

   Time: PT2M
