These Smash Burger Tacos combine the juicy, crispy edges of a classic smash burger with the handheld convenience of a taco. Ground beef is spread thin and cooked directly on a tortilla for a crispy, cheesy, and flavorful taco that’s perfect for an easy weeknight meal or casual get-together.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tacos

  • 4 flour tortillas (6 inches)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)

Toppings

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Dill pickle chips
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Divide the beef: Separate the 1 pound of ground beef into 4 equal portions to evenly distribute meat for each taco.
  2. Shape on tortillas: Spread each beef portion thinly over each flour tortilla, seasoning with salt and pepper for flavor. Ensure the beef covers most of the tortilla surface.
  3. Heat skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with the tablespoon of neutral oil to prevent sticking and to get a nice sear.
  4. Cook meat side down: Place the tortillas meat-side down on the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is golden and fully cooked on the bottom.
  5. Add cheese and finish: Flip the tortilla so the meat side is now facing up. Immediately add a slice of cheese on the meat and cook for another 1-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Repeat for remaining tacos: Remove cooked tacos from the skillet and repeat the cooking process for the remaining portions.
  7. Assemble toppings: Top each cheesy taco with diced onion, dill pickle chips, and shredded iceberg lettuce for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a different texture.
  • Use your favorite cheese like cheddar or pepper jack if American cheese is not preferred.
  • Add a sauce like mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard to enhance flavor.
  • For a spicier option, include jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Ensure your skillet is hot enough to get a good sear but not so hot that it burns the tortilla.
