Description

Smash Burger Tacos offer a flavorful fusion that combines juicy, crispy smash burgers with the fresh, vibrant toppings of classic tacos. This quick and easy recipe delivers the best of both worlds in just 25 minutes, making a delicious meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Burger Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil (for skillet)

Taco Assembly Ingredients

  • 8 taco-sized tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  2. Form beef balls: Divide the ground beef into small balls, about the size of golf balls, to ensure even cooking and a perfect smash.
  3. Smash the burgers: Place each beef ball into the hot skillet and immediately smash down with a spatula to form thin patties. This helps develop a crispy crust.
  4. Season the patties: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of each patty while cooking.
  5. Cook the patties: Let the patties cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until a crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Warm the tortillas: Warm the tortillas separately either in another skillet or a microwave to make them pliable for assembly.
  7. Assemble the tacos: Place one cooked smash burger patty on each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, diced onions, and pickles.
  8. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor experience. Enjoy your delicious smash burger tacos!

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier option with less fat.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite taco toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or jalapeños.
