Smash Burger Tacos Recipe (Tex-Mex Version)
Smash Burger Tacos combine the popular burger chain hamburgers with tacos (based on a viral TikTok video). However, this recipe emphasizes the taco portion of the recipe by adding Mexican flavors, such as adding chorizo to hamburger meat, using queso instead of sliced American cheese, and adding guacamole, spiced sour cream, and pico de gallo as toppings!

Notes
- Use something heavy or press hard with a spatula until the hamburger is smashed thin. You can also just press the burger flat onto the tortilla with your palm before you place it in the pan.
- The hamburger is super thin and will cook quickly. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- You can serve these flat, or if eating as a taco, fold as soon as it comes out of the pan if you want it to be a taco shape.
- The sauce for these smash tacos is not the typical smash burger sauce. It is a spicy cream sauce. If you want it a bit spicy, add the chipotle powder or some chili powder.
- Storage:
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
