Description
A delicious fusion of smash burgers and tacos, featuring juicy beef patties with cheese wrapped in warm tortillas topped with various fresh toppings.
Ingredients
- For the Burger Sauce: ½ cup mayo
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickles
- ½ teaspoon pickle juice
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- For the Smash Burgers: 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 street taco-sized flour tortillas
- Shredded lettuce
- Burger pickles
- Optional toppings: bacon, thin white onions
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the burger sauce ingredients and stir well. Set the bowl aside while you work on the burger patties.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef with ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Divide the mixture into six equal balls.
- Prepare the cooking area. Ensure you have your tortillas, cheese, and prepared toppings easily accessible.
- Preheat your flat top griddle to medium-high heat.
- Place the beef balls onto the griddle. With a burger press, flatten each ball for 15 to 20 seconds until you have a nice, thin patty.
- After pressing, let the patties cook for about 40 seconds. Feel free to sprinkle additional seasoning if desired.
- Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty. Now, place the tortillas on the griddle.
- Close the lid, allowing the burgers to cook for roughly two minutes. After this time, open the lid and flip the tortillas for even toasting.
- When ready, use a spatula to lift the patties and place them onto the warm tortillas. Transfer to plates and include your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, burger sauce, and pickles.
Notes
Feel free to customize your tacos with jalapeños or sautéed onions for added flavor.
