Description
Smash Burger Tacos are a delicious fusion of classic smash burgers and tacos, featuring juicy beef patties topped with cheese and fresh toppings, all wrapped in soft tortillas.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup pickles (optional)
- ½ cup taco sauce or ketchup
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into balls.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the beef balls in the skillet, spacing them apart.
- Using a spatula, smash each ball down to form a thin patty and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a nice crust forms on the bottom.
- Flip the patties and immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a cheesy smash burger patty on each tortilla and topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, pickles (if using), and a drizzle of taco sauce or ketchup.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or a spicy salsa to the tacos.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
