Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef 80/20 fat ratio
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 (6-inch) small flour tortillas
- 6 lices American cheese or sliced cheese of choice
- shredded lettuce, minced onion, dill pickles, for topping
- burger sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the beef, salt & pepper. Lay tortillas flat on a parchment paper or sheet pan.
- Divide the meat mixture evenly onto each tortilla and press it into a thin layer that covers the entire tortilla. The meat mixture will shrink as it cooks. If you like grilled onions, press a thin layer of minced onion on top of the beef before grilling.
- Preheat a hot skillet over high heat. Lightly brush the skillet with oil and make sure the grill is smoking hot. Place the tortillas beef side down on top of the skillet using a spatula to smash/flatten it.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side then flip and top with a slice of cheese. Cover with the lid for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
- Remove from heat and top with shredded lettuce, minced onion, pickles, and a generous drizzle of my favorite burger sauce.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- These Smashburger tacos are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. However, if you have leftovers, place the tacos in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer, in the oven or on the stovetop for a few minutes. Using the air fryer will probably give you the best results and really crisp up the tortilla.
