  • Author: Ashley
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
– 1 medium tomato, diced
– ½ cup diced onions (red or white)
– ½ cup pickles, sliced
– ¼ cup mayonnaise or taco sauce
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (or to taste)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: hot sauce, avocado, sour cream, or cilantro


Instructions

Creating Smash Burger Tacos is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Griddle: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Form Patties: Divide the beef into 8 equal portions and form them into balls.
4. Smash the Patties: Place the beef balls on the hot skillet and immediately flatten them using a spatula. Cook without disturbing for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
5. Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the patties and immediately top them with shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
6. Warm Tortillas: While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas either in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
7. Assemble: On each tortilla, add a smashed burger patty, followed by your toppings: lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles. Drizzle mayonnaise or taco sauce on top.
8. Serve: Garnish with your choice of additional toppings like avocado or hot sauce, and serve immediately.

With these steps, you’ll create an amazing meal that showcases the best of both worlds!
