Smash Burger Tacos: The Ultimate Mashup of Yum!

Ever had one of those days where you just wanna dive into two of your favorite foods at once? Like, who doesn’t love burgers AND tacos? I mean, come on! I whipped these Smash Burger Tacos up last week when I had a serious craving and let me tell ya, they did NOT disappoint.

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, let’s hit the grocery store together, shall we? You’re gonna need:
– 4 flour tortillas (6 inches—don’t get the big ones, trust me)
– 1 lb lean ground beef (the good stuff, please)
– Salt and pepper (duh, but like, season to your heart’s content)
– 1 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable, canola, avocado—whatever floats your boat)
– 4 slices American cheese (or like, whatever cheese you vibe with)
– 1 small onion, diced (you can cry a little, it’s okay)
– Dill pickle chips (because YES)
– Shredded iceberg lettuce (for crunch, always)
– Now for the secret sauce…
– 1 cup mayo
– 4 tbsp pickle relish
– 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 1 tsp sugar (trust me)
– 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
– 1 1/4 tsp paprika,
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp garlic powder

Doesn’t that sound incredible?

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Honestly, these tacos have become my go-to when I’m feelin’ lazy but want something super satisfying. So, picture this: it’s Friday night, I’ve had a long week, and I’m lounging on my couch with a movie (probably something cheesy, no pun intended). I whip these up in, like, 20 minutes and suddenly I’m the culinary hero of my own story. Plus, my friends are all, “OMG, what did you make?!” And I’m just like, “You know, just some tacos, no biggie.” *cue the applause* 😂

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up! The trick to really make these sing? Smash the beef into the tortilla! Like, don’t just plop it on there, really spread it out and press down. This way, you get that amazing crust on the underside—so good! It’s like a burger and a taco had a delicious love child.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Seriously, don’t skip the seasoning! Salt and pepper are your best friends here.
– If you’re not watching your cheese intake, add another slice! No one’s judging.
– Watch that skillet! If it’s too hot, your taco’s gonna burn faster than you can say “oops.”
– Also, check your cook time! I said 2-3 minutes for that golden crust, but if it’s getting too brown, flip it earlier!
– Lastly, let everyone build their own tacos. It’s way more fun and less messy (sorta).

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if somehow you have leftovers (which I seriously doubt), you can toss them in an airtight container in the fridge for, like, 2-3 days. We all know they’re best fresh, but if you need to reheat, pop ‘em in the skillet for a minute or two. Just don’t nuke ‘em—you want that crispy goodness back!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

You might also dig:
– Loaded Nacho Fries (like, holy guacamole)
– Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas (spicy, cheesy goodness)
– Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders (because sliders are just mini miracles)

So, tell me, what’s your ultimate lazy, ‘I-need-comfort-food-now’ dish? Can’t wait to hear about it! 🥳

Place the tortilla meat-side down in the skillet, pressing lightly with a spatula to form a thin patty. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden brown.
