Smash Burger Tacos

beef, 80/20, portioned into 3-ounce balls

Salt & pepper

flour tortillas

American cheese

Burger Sauce (recipe below)

Sweet and Spicy Pickles

Shredded lettuce

Burger Sauce

mayonnaise

ketchup

pickle relish

apple cider vinegar

black pepper

Portion the beef and prepare the workstation. Make sure the beef is about a small golf-ball size, roughly 3 ounces. Have the tortillas, cheese, and everything ready to go as this process happens quickly.

Heat up the griddle to a high heat for searing. Don&#8217;t turn on all of the burners, just the one you&#8217;ll need to sear. This will give your tacos a cool landing place for when they are flipped.

Season the beef and place on the griddle. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto one side of the beef and place it face down on the griddle. Do this for all of the portions, spacing them far enough apart so you can smash them down.

Add the tortilla to the top and smash down. Quickly place a flour tortilla on top of the beef and smash it down using a press or your spatula. Press down to make sure it&#8217;s extremely thin. It&#8217;s not a problem if the burger is a little bigger than the tortilla. Let the meat cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the color of the beef has darkened and it&#8217;s crisp on the bottom.

Scrape and flip the tacos. Using a bench scraper or spatula, forcefully scrape the meat off the griddle and flip the tortillas to the cooler side. Do not sear the tortillas on the hot surface, or they will crisp up. Add your cheese and cover the taco with a bowl or a lid to assist in melting if needed.

Top and serve immediately. No need to wait for the meat to rest, these smash burger tacos are waiting for your toppings. Enjoy!

Bro I made these today on a cast iron griddle on a gas grill, phenomenal.  The sweet and spicy pickles kicked it over the top and I used an old burger sauce recipe I always use with pickles and a little pickle juice in it. Having the griddle hot already is the key to this recipe.

These were amazing and so much ‘lighter’ than a traditional hamburger on a bun. I wasn’t t sure about the pickles but they were the bomb! The whole combination of tortilla, burger, cheese, lettuce , sauce and pickles was so good! My husband was on board as the grill master and we will definitely make this recipe a keeper!

Made these tonight on the stovetop. Smash hit!! Thanks for the tips!!

mustard

sweet relish

pickle juice

lb 80/20 Ground Chuck

Taco size tortillas

American Cheese

Tomatoes

Red onion

Pickles

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce until well combined. Taste and adjust the flavors to your liking.

Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high. Smashburgers need high heat to cook properly.

Pack the ground beef into a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form each burger patty. This will yield around 2-2.5 oz burger.

Prepare your preferred toppings.

Place the burger patties on the griddle, spacing them out for the tortillas.

Sprinkle seasoning of your choice on each patty.

Place a tortilla onto each patty and press down for 5-10 seconds before repeating with the remaining patties. By the time you&#39;re finished with the last patty, the first ones should be ready to flip. Once you flip the patties, add a slice of American cheese on top.
