Here’s a simple recipe for a smash burger taco

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced pickles
• Ketchup and mustard, for drizzling
• Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Make sure it’s really hot, as you want to achieve a good sear on the burgers.
2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into balls. Season each ball with salt and pepper.
3. Place a tortilla on the hot skillet and let it heat for about 30 seconds to a minute until it starts to puff up slightly. Flip it and repeat on the other side. Remove the tortilla and set it aside.
4. Place one of the beef balls onto the hot skillet. Use a spatula to smash it down into a thin patty. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges turn crispy and brown. Flip the patty and cook for another 1-2 minutes for medium-rare or longer for your preferred level of doneness.
5. While the patty is cooking, prepare your toppings. Combine lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cheese in separate bowls.
6. Once the patty is done, transfer it to a plate. Repeat the smashing and cooking process for the remaining beef balls.
7. To assemble the smash burger tacos, place a cooked tortilla on a plate. Lay a smash burger patty in the center.
8. Top the patty with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cheddar cheese.
9. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the toppings.
10. Fold the tortilla in half, and your smash burger taco is ready to enjoy!
