The Dubai Taco

Recipe By: Mad Scientist BBQ
🐪 Fun Fact: Dubai went from a pearl-diving village to a skyline icon in decades, hosts the world’s tallest building, and even operates an indoor ski resort today.

🌶️ What You’ll Need

2 lb oz beef (65/35 fat ratio
1 lb white onion, small diced (about 3½ cups)
⅓ cup green chili, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup garlic, chopped (about 8 cloves)
2 tablespoons instant or ground coffee
2 teaspoons beef or chicken stock powder
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
1½ teaspoons nutmeg
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1½ tablespoons baking powder

🔥 How To Make The Magic

1️⃣ Dice Party
Finely dice the onion, green bell pepper, and green chiles. Toss them in a bowl, mix it up, and let them hang out and get juicy.

2️⃣ Season Like You Mean It
Hit the beef with all the spices, baking powder, coffee, and chicken bouillon powder. No fear. Full send.

3️⃣ Bring It Together
Pile that onion mixture on top of the seasoned meat and mix until everything is best-friends-level combined.

4️⃣ Smash Ball Energy
Roll the mixture into tortilla-sized balls. Think smash burger, but make it taco.

5️⃣ Griddle Time
Heat your griddle or pan to medium-high. Drop a ball in, smash it flat, then crown it with a tortilla. Cook 2 minutes, flip, then crisp the tortilla and cook the meat through for another 2–3 minutes.

6️⃣ Fold, Sauce, Devour
Fold it up and sauce it hard with your favorite taco sauce or hot sauce. Drips encouraged. 🌶️

📝 Chef’s Note (Jeremy-approved):
Chop everything by hand for better texture. Skip the food processor. Mix well, then refrigerate after mixing so the flavors can settle in and get cozy.

🌮 Bottom line: Crispy tortilla. Juicy meat. Absolute Taco Tuesday chaos.
