1. Season the Meat: In a bowl, mix ground meat with all listed spices. Form into 6 balls.

2. Prepare the Pan: Preheat and lightly oil a cast iron pan over medium heat.

3. Smash the Tacos: Place a corn tortilla on the pan, add a meatball on top, and smash it flat using a spatula. Don’t press too thin to avoid crumbling.
