Description

Smash burger tacos redefine taco night with an unexpected twist, combining seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, and crunchy toppings all wrapped in a warm tortilla.


Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (6 inches)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Dill pickle chips
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce


Instructions

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
  2. Spread one portion of beef over each tortilla, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with oil.
  4. Cook each tortilla meat-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Flip and add cheese; cook for another 1-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat and repeat for remaining tacos.
  7. Assemble tacos with sauce, lettuce, onions, and pickles.

Notes

For a zestier option, consider mixing diced jalapeños or hot sauce with the beef before cooking.
