Smash Burger Tacos
Description
This recipe stretches ground beef thinly onto flour tortillas, seasoning them before cooking each tortilla meat side down in a skillet, forming a crispy, flavorful crust directly on the tortilla itself. Once cooked, a slice of American cheese is melted onto the meat by covering the pan briefly while off heat.
The tacos are assembled with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced onions, and chopped dill pickles, offering fresh crunch to complement the savory beef. The 321 sauce - a blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard - adds creamy acidity that brightens the rich meat and cheese. Toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top provide a mild nutty flavor and texture contrast.
These tacos are served folded, using the skillet-cooked tortillas as a base layered with toppings and sauce for a casual and satisfying meal. The combination of seared meat, melted cheese, and classic taco fixings creates a comforting, handheld dish suitable for lunch or dinner.
