Ingredients:
For the Smash Burgers:
- 1 lbs. ground beef
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Cooking oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup dill pickle relish
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- ½ tsp paprika powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
For Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 20-30 minutes
Servings: 8
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper.
- Then, divide it into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
- Take each meatball and press it down onto a tortilla, using your fingers to flatten it out.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Place a tortilla in the skillet with the meat side down. Use a spatula or another flat tool to press the beef down, creating a thin patty that covers most of the tortilla’s surface.
- Cook the burger on one side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the beef begins to brown. If desired, use the back of the spatula to press down on the burger to flatten it further.
- Flip the tortilla and burger over.
- Sprinkle a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooking beef patty.
- Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt. Continue cooking for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the burger is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the smash burger from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat this process with the remaining smash burger tacos.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika powder, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are fully blended. Set the sauce aside.
- Sprinkle the chopped onions over the shredded iceberg lettuce.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce over the toppings. Adjust the sauce amount according to your taste.
- To assemble each taco, place a generous amount of shredded iceberg lettuce with onions on top of the burger.
- Fold the tortilla in half, creating a taco shape.
