Smash Burger Tacos
These Smash Burger Tacos are a fun twist on traditional tacos, featuring smashed beef patties inside flour tortillas topped with your favorite condiments.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces flour tortillas (6 inches)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
- 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 1 small onion, diced
- Dill pickle chips
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
Instructions
Preparation
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
- Spread one portion of beef over each tortilla, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with oil.
Cooking
- Cook each tortilla meat-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and add cheese; cook for another 1-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and repeat for remaining tacos.
Assembly
- Assemble tacos with sauce, lettuce, onions, and pickles.
Notes
Press hard on the meat for better texture and don't be afraid of splatter. The first taco might be a trial run, and cheese timing is key—add it when you flip the taco for optimal melting.
