Cook Time 30 minutes

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

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.
