Smashed Sausage & Peppers Tacos on the Blackstone

Looking for a crowd-pleasing, easy-to-make dish to bring to your next barbeque or family party? Look no further than these vegan Smashed Sausage & Peppers Tacos cooked on the Blackstone griddle. This recipe combines savory Impossible sausage, fresh bell peppers, and onions for a flavorful taco experience everyone will love. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and a surefire hit for any gathering!

To start, prep your Impossible sausage by weighing out six equal portions, about 2.3 ounces each. Place each portion onto a Mission Yellow Corn Tortilla and use a spatula to spread the sausage evenly across the surface. This step ensures that every bite of your taco is packed with that savory sausage flavor, making each taco the perfect handheld treat.

Next, it’s all about getting those veggies ready. Slice up your green peppers and white onion – these will add a fresh, vibrant crunch to your tacos. Heat up 2 cups of Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce in the microwave to have it ready for drizzling. With minimal prep, you’re on your way to creating a delicious meal in no time.

When it comes to cooking on the Blackstone, having the right tools is key. I always use my trusty 36 in. Blackstone griddle for even cooking and perfect results every time. The Blackstone accessory kit is a must-have for handling all your grilling needs, and I can’t live without the Blackstone Silicone Spatula Mat to keep my workspace clean. For precise temperature control, I rely on a Digital Infrared Thermometer Gun. Don’t forget to have a 16oz Oil Dispenser Bottle handy for quick oiling, and if you’re making breakfast on the griddle too, the Blackstone 4-Piece Griddle Breakfast Kit is a game-changer. For prep and storage, I recommend the WÜSTHOF Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set and Pyrex Simply Store 12-Pack Mixed Sized Glass Food Storage Set. Don’t forget your Carlisle FoodService Trays to transport everything from the kitchen to the grill with ease.

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large onion Sliced
  • 2 Green peppers Sliced
  • 14 oz. Impossible Savory Ground Sausage Meat
  • 6 Misson Yellow Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Pasta Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Shredded Parm Cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Veggies and Sauce

  • Start by cleaning and slicing your green peppers, then move on to slicing the large white onion. These will add a fresh, crunchy texture to your tacos. While you're at it, portion out your 2 cups of Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce and pop it in the microwave to heat up.

Step 2: Prepare the Impossible Sausage

  • Now it's time to get the Impossible sausage ready. Open the tube and weigh out six roughly 2.3 oz. portions. Place each portion on a Mission Yellow Corn Tortilla and use a spatula to spread the sausage evenly across the tortilla. This ensures every bite of your taco is loaded with savory goodness.

Step 3: Get Ready to Grill

  • With your veggies prepped and the sausage spread on the tortillas, it’s time to head to the grill. Use trays to transport everything outside—your peppers, onions, tortillas, and shredded parm cheese. Preheat your grill to 350-375°F and spray some avocado oil across the center of the grill top.

Step 4: Cook the Peppers, Onions, and Tortillas

  • Once the grill is heated, add the peppers and onions, cooking them until they’re softened. Use a dome and a spritz of water to speed up the cooking process. When they’re ready, remove them from the grill and set them aside in a bowl.
  • Next, spray a bit more oil on the grill and add your tortillas, backside down first, to create a crunchy outside. After a minute, flip the tortillas so the sausage side is facing down. Let them simmer for a moment, then press down on each taco with your grill press to form a good crust.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

  • When the tortillas have a nice crust, remove them from the grill and place them in taco holders, bending them down the center. Fill each taco with the grilled peppers and onions, drizzle on the heated pasta sauce, and sprinkle a bit of dairy-free shredded parm cheese on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Vegan Gluten-Free Big Mac Smashed Tacos on the Blackstone

If you’re looking for an easy and delicious vegan recipe that will impress both vegans and meat-lovers alike, look no further than these Vegan Gluten-Free Big Mac Smashed Tacos on the Blackstone. This recipe combines the nostalgic flavors of a classic Big Mac with the fun and convenience of tacos, all while being entirely plant-based and gluten-free. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or a family cook out, these tacos are sure to be a hit.

One of the standout features of this recipe is the homemade Big Mac sauce. It’s incredibly easy to make and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. By using vegan Hellmann’s mayo, the sauce becomes completely vegan without sacrificing any of the creamy, tangy goodness that makes it so irresistible. Just mix together the mayo, organic ketchup, sweet relish, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of paprika, and you’ll have a sauce that tastes just like the original.

The plant-based Impossible Meat is the star of these tacos, providing a meaty texture and flavor that can fool even the most dedicated carnivores. Impossible Meat is known for its ability to mimic the taste and mouthfeel of real meat, and it does not disappoint here. When cooked on the grill, it develops a perfect crust that adds a delightful crunch to each bite, making these tacos not only tasty but also satisfying and indulgent.

To keep this recipe gluten-free, we’ve opted for corn taco shells. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, making them a great alternative to traditional flour tortillas. They provide a slightly sweet and earthy flavor that complements the savory filling perfectly. Plus, they get wonderfully crispy on the grill, adding another layer of texture to these already delicious tacos. With this recipe, you can enjoy all the flavors you love in a Big Mac, without any of the gluten or animal products.
