Description

A delicious twist on burgers, these easy smash burger tacos combine juicy ground beef with crispy tortillas and flavorful toppings for a fun handheld meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat percentage)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 10 cracks fresh black pepper
  • 6 (six-inch) flour tortillas
  • 6 slices muenster or provolone cheese
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Chopped white onion
  • Dill pickle chips for topping
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons minced bread & butter pickles
  • 1 tablespoon pickle brine
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


Instructions

  1. Whisk together all burger sauce ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Mix salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Evenly distribute over the top and bottom of the ground beef.
  3. Divide the beef into 2.5-ounce balls and place them on a plate in the fridge.
  4. Preheat the flat top on high heat, ensuring it gets extremely hot.
  5. Place each beef ball on the flat top. Press a tortilla on top, using a smashing tool to flatten the meat.
  6. Allow the meat to cook for 1 minute before pressing down again.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until crispy and browned.
  8. Flip the taco to cook the tortilla side for about 2 minutes.
