Description
Crispy, juicy Smash Burger Tacos made with seasoned ground beef pressed onto flour tortillas, seared to perfection, layered with melted cheddar, fresh vegetables, and a creamy burger sauce. A bold and fun fusion that brings burger flavor into taco form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat until hot.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and chopped dill pickles until smooth to create the burger sauce.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions.
- Place one tortilla on a flat surface and spread one portion of ground beef thinly over one side, pressing evenly to the edges. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Place the tortilla beef side down onto the hot skillet and press firmly with a spatula. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and crispy.
- Flip so the tortilla side is down, sprinkle shredded cheddar over the beef, and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and a spoonful of burger sauce.
- Fold like a taco and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Press the beef very thin to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Prep the sauce and chop vegetables ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet to restore crisp texture.
