Instructions
Making Smash Burger Tacos is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps for a successful meal:
1. Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a little oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Form the Patties: Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
4. Smash the Patties: Place each ball on the hot skillet. Using a spatula, smash them down to create flat patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
5. Flip the Patties: Once the edges are crispy and brown, flip the patties and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Warm the Tortillas: While the patties are cooking, warm the tortillas in another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
7. Assemble the Tacos: Once the patties are cooked, place one patty on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, pickles, and onions.
8. Add the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Drizzle the sauce over the assembled tacos.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Smash Burger Tacos immediately while they are warm and crispy.
10. Optional Toppings: Feel free to add jalapeños, avocado, or hot sauce for an extra kick.
These steps will guide you in creating an incredible meal that merges the best qualities of burgers and tacos seamlessly.
