Discover how to make the ultimate Smash Burger Tacos recipe. These crispy, cheesy tacos combine two favorites into one incredible meal.

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
– 8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
– 8 slices American cheese
– 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
– 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/4 cup finely diced white onion
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons ketchup
– 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Set aside.
2. Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces each). Roll each into a ball.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until smoking.
4. Lightly butter one side of each tortilla.
5. Place a tortilla, buttered side down, in the hot skillet. Immediately place a beef ball on top.
6. Smash the beef ball flat with a heavy spatula, spreading it to the edges of the tortilla.
7. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 2 minutes until edges are crispy.
8. Flip the tortilla and patty together. Place a slice of cheese on the patty. Cook for 1 minute until cheese melts and tortilla is golden.
9. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and beef.
10. Top each taco with pickles, lettuce, special sauce, and diced onion. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy edges, ensure the pan is very hot before cooking. You can use corn tortillas for a different texture.
