Ingredients
For the Smash Burgers:
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
-
6 tortillas (about 6” in diameter)
-
Salt and pepper (or burger seasoning of your choice)
-
6 slices American cheese
-
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
-
1/4 onion, diced
-
12–18 dill pickle slices
For the Burger Sauce:
-
1 cup mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup sweet relish
-
1 tablespoon mustard
-
1 teaspoon vinegar
-
2 teaspoons sugar
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Burger Sauce:
-
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet relish, mustard, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
-
-
Cook the Smash Burgers:
-
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
-
While the pan is heating, divide the ground beef into 6 even portions (about 3 ounces each). Roll each portion into a ball.
-
Place the beef balls onto the hot skillet, and using a spatula, smash each ball down firmly to form a thin patty. Season with salt, pepper, or your preferred burger seasoning.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges of the patties are crispy, then flip the burgers and immediately place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers are fully cooked.
-
-
Assemble the Tacos:
-
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
-
Spread a small amount of the burger sauce on each tortilla.
-
Place a cooked smash burger patty on each tortilla.
-
Top with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced onions, and dill pickle slices.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve the Smash Burger Tacos immediately, with extra burger sauce on the side if desired.
-
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add crispy bacon strips or sautéed mushrooms to the tacos.
-
You can use other types of cheese such as cheddar or Swiss if you prefer.
- To make the tacos more hearty, add a slice of tomato or a bit of ketchup and mustard inside the taco.
