The Heimish Smash
| August 12, 2025Where old-school flavor meets new-school trend. This wrap takes the smashburger craze to the next level, pressed onto a soft tortilla or wrap and loaded with heimish goodness. Think juicy burger, crispy fried onions, maple beef fry, creamy coleslaw, and a surprise twist of kishke for that nostalgic touch. It’s savory, crunchy, smoky, and sweet all wrapped up in one bite.
Serves 6
- 2 lb (910 g) ground beef (I use extra lean)
- 6 large wraps or soft tortillas
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 16-oz (450-g) kishke, cut into 6 slices
- 2 large Spanish onions, sliced
- 1–2 Tbsp oil, as needed
- 8–12 oz (225–340 g) beef fry
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 lb (450 g) coleslaw
Divide the meat into 6 parts. Press each part onto a tortilla or wrap, making sure it’s evenly distributed and reaches the ends. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Crumble 1 slice of kishke for each wrap and press it onto the meat.
Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat and spray with cooking spray. Place one wrap, meat side down, onto the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Flip again and cook for an additional 2–4 minutes, until the meat is browned and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining wraps.
Add onions and 1–2 Tbsp oil, if needed, to the same skillet and fry onions until just golden.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the beef fry on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with maple syrup and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the meat shrivels and crisps up. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then chop the beef fry into small pieces.
To assemble the wraps, top them with fried onions, coleslaw, and some beef fry, and roll them up taco-style. Enjoy!
