Smash Burger Tacos

Print Recipe

A fusion of smash burgers and tacos, these Smash Burger Tacos feature crispy beef patties smashed directly onto tortillas, topped with melted cheese, pickles, and a tangy burger sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 6 small flour tortillas
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
  • For the sauce: 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  2. Divide ground beef into 6 equal balls.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add butter or oil.
  4. Place a tortilla on the hot surface, then put a beef ball on top. Smash it thin using a spatula, pressing it into the tortilla.
  5. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned.
  6. Flip the tortilla so the meat side is now on the skillet, and immediately add a slice of cheese on top of the meat. Cook another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  7. Remove from skillet and repeat for remaining tortillas and beef.
  8. Top each taco with the burger sauce, pickles, diced onions, lettuce, and optional tomatoes.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a burger press or spatula to properly smash the beef thin.
  • For extra flavor, toast tortillas slightly before adding meat.
  • Customize toppings with your favorite burger additions.
