0:00intro finished product griddle An overhead shot presents four fully assembled 'Smashed Taco Burgers' arranged neatly on a sleek silver rectangular metal tray. Each burger consists of a browned tortilla base topped with a beef patty, melted cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced yellow banana peppers, and a generous drizzle of a creamy, light orange sauce. In the blurred background, a black Hamilton Beach ProCast Iron Electric Griddle is visible, subtly highlighting the brand. The lighting is bright and even, emphasizing the vibrant colors of the food. A clear, white text overlay with a black outline reads 'Let's Make the Viral Smashed Taco Burger' prominently across the top half of the screen. The overall mood is inviting and appetizing, setting the stage for a cooking demonstration.
A medium close-up shot focuses on a female subject enthusiastically biting into a Smashed Taco Burger. She is positioned slightly off-center to the right, looking down at the burger as she takes a large, satisfying bite. Her eyes are closed in enjoyment during the initial bite, then open as she chews, displaying a clear expression of happiness and satisfaction with a slight smile. Her long, dark hair frames her face, and she wears gold-rimmed glasses. The background is a clean, bright white wall, suggesting an indoor, possibly kitchen or dining, environment. The lighting is soft and natural, illuminating her face and the burger, which is held firmly in both hands. Her light purple manicured nails are visible as she holds the food.
This sequence shows a close-up of a white ceramic bowl resting on a clean, white countertop, as various ingredients are added to create a sauce. First, a creamy white substance, likely mayonnaise, is poured into the bowl. This is followed by a dollop of thick red ketchup, then a squeeze of bright yellow mustard. Next, a spoonful of chunky green relish is added. A clear, slightly yellowish liquid (pickle juice) is drizzled in, followed by a sprinkle of white granular sugar, and finally, a dash of black pepper and salt. The ingredients sit distinctly in the bowl before a hand, with light purple nail polish, uses a small metal whisk to vigorously combine them, transforming them into a uniform, creamy, light orange sauce. A striped blue and white dish towel is visible in the blurred background. The lighting is bright and even, clearly illuminating the ingredients and the mixing process.
0:14prepare meat tortillas The scene opens with a close-up of raw ground beef, divided by a cut, resting on a white ceramic plate. The camera then cuts to an overhead, slightly angled shot on a pristine white cutting board. A hand, encased in a clear plastic glove and adorned with light purple nail polish, takes a portion of the ground beef and carefully presses it flat onto a round, light brown whole wheat tortilla. Another un-topped tortilla is visible in the upper left background. The action is precise and methodical, ensuring the beef covers the tortilla evenly, preparing it for cooking. The lighting is bright and clean, emphasizing the texture of the meat and the simplicity of the preparation process. The background is slightly out of focus, keeping the focus on the task at hand.
0:18griddle temperature setting A close-up shot focuses on the control panel of the Hamilton Beach electric griddle. A female hand, again with light purple nail polish, is seen gripping and turning the black temperature dial. The dial, marked with temperatures from 'WARM' to '450', is rotated past '250' and '300' degrees, indicating the griddle is being preheated. The red 'POWER' indicator light is illuminated, confirming the appliance is on. The griddle's silver casing and the black cooking surface are visible in the foreground, while a wooden tabletop forms the blurred background. The lighting is clear, allowing for easy readability of the dial markings and showcasing the product's functionality.
An overhead shot captures a silver metal tray holding four round tortillas, each generously covered with a layer of raw ground beef. A female hand, with light purple nail polish, is shown sprinkling white granular salt and then dark pepper flakes evenly over the raw meat patties. In the blurred background, other prep bowls with toppings like chopped tomatoes are faintly visible, indicating a cooking station. The lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the seasoning process and the texture of the ground beef. The composition emphasizes the preparation steps, making the scene instructional and clear.
0:22cooking on griddle The scene provides a close-up, slightly angled view of the Hamilton Beach electric griddle's black cooking surface. Initially, oil is sprayed onto the hot surface, creating a fine mist. Then, a female hand with light purple nail polish carefully places four beef-covered tortillas, meat-side down, onto the sizzling griddle. Steam immediately rises from the contact points, indicating the griddle is hot. A black spatula is then used to press down firmly on one of the tortillas, smashing the meat and tortilla against the hot surface to ensure even cooking and a good sear. The tortillas begin to cook, with visible bubbling and browning of the meat and edges of the tortilla. The background shows hints of other prep bowls and a wooden surface, maintaining focus on the cooking action. The lighting highlights the glistening oil and the steam, adding to the sensory experience.
0:29flipping adding cheese This close-up shot focuses on two Smashed Taco Burgers cooking on the Hamilton Beach griddle. A black spatula slides under one of the tortillas, carefully flipping it over to reveal a beautifully golden-brown, toasted tortilla on one side and a seared, slightly crusted beef patty on the other. The griddle surface shows the residual oil and cooking marks. Immediately after flipping, a square slice of bright yellow American cheese is delicately placed on top of the hot, cooking beef patty, beginning to melt almost instantly from the residual heat. The background is blurred, maintaining sharp focus on the cooking process. The lighting is warm and bright, enhancing the appetizing appearance of the food.
An overhead shot presents a well-organized array of fresh, vibrant toppings laid out on a silver rectangular metal tray. The tray is divided into several white ceramic bowls and smaller square dishes, each containing a different ingredient. Prominently featured are a large pile of thinly shredded green iceberg lettuce, a bowl of finely diced white onions, a bowl of bright red diced tomatoes, a dish of sliced yellow banana peppers, and a bowl of sliced dill pickles. The arrangement is neat and appealing, ready for assembly. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the fresh colors and textures of the vegetables. The background is a warm wooden surface, slightly out of focus, providing a natural contrast to the cool metal and white ceramic.
0:34assembly final product A close-up shot focuses on a fully assembled Smashed Taco Burger sitting on the silver metal tray. The burger is layered with a beef patty, melted cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced pickles, and yellow banana peppers. A light orange, creamy sauce, previously prepared, is being drizzled generously over the top of the burger from a spoon held by a hand. As the sauce settles, a pair of hands with light purple nail polish gently lifts the completed taco burger from the tray, presenting it directly towards the camera. The burger looks enticing and ready to eat, with all its vibrant components clearly visible. The lighting is bright and inviting, emphasizing the textures and colors of the food. The background remains the silver tray and blurred wooden surface, keeping the focus on the delicious final product.
