The Bergeron family has spent decades perfecting their cheese. Founded in 1989 in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, Québec, Fromagerie Bergeron shares generations of cheese-making expertise passed down within the family.
Innovation is part of the Bergeron legacy. When changing regulations made cheddar production difficult, the Bergerons made a bold pivot, introducing Gouda to a Canadian market that had barely even heard of it. But it paid off, and today, Fromagerie Bergeron are Canada’s Gouda masters, known for their signature taste and iconic red wax coating.
Over the years, the family has continued to push boundaries, introducing products such as a naturally smoked cheese, a cheese made with cumin seeds, and their celebrated washed-rind Fin Renard. Now led by the fourth generation, the company remains committed to producing high-quality, approachable cheeses designed to bring people together around the table.
And when it comes to innovative, flavour-forward cooking, Fromagerie Bergeron’s Inspiration Slicers make it effortless to bring that craftsmanship straight to your table. This versatile assortment of Gouda, Cheddar, and Swiss cheeses makes everyday cooking easy and delicious. Conveniently packaged and perfectly portioned, these slices melt beautifully and pair well with everything from quick snacks to elevated comfort food. Try them as a snack, in sandwiches, in burgers, on crackers, or in raclette. For drink pairings, try a blonde or brown ale, a light, fruity red wine, or a dry, fruity white wine.
Looking to put them to the test? These Smash Burger Tacos à la Bergeron are a flavour-packed twist on two classics, perfect for casual dinners or weekend gatherings.
Smash Burger Tacos à la Bergeron
Serves 6 • Prep Time: 15 min • Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients
For the Smash Burger Tacos:
- 454 g (1 lb) of ground beef
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) of Mexican chili powder
- 5 ml (1 tsp) of salt
- 6 15 cm (6 in) wheat tortillas
- Smoked Slices
To serve:
- Spicy mayonnaise
- Avocado slices
- Lime wedges
- Cherry tomatoes
- Crushed spicy tortilla-style chips
Directions
- For the smash burger tacos:
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Place a baking tray near the oven. - In a bowl, thoroughly mix the ground beef with the chili powder and salt.
- Divide the meat into 6 portions. Spread each portion of meat directly onto a tortilla, pressing down so it adheres well. Cover the entire surface completely, as the meat will shrink during cooking.
In a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat, place a filled tortilla, meat side down. - Cook for 3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula. Carefully turn over and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, add a slice of Bergeron smoked cheese on top of the meat, and keep warm in the oven.
- Repeat the steps to cook all the tortillas.
To serve:
- Top each taco with spicy mayonnaise, avocado slices, a squeeze of lime juice, cherry tomatoes, and crushed tortilla chips. Serve immediately
