Smash Burger Tacos are all the rave right now. Juicy ground meat is smashed into thin perfection in crispy tortilla with melty cheese and dressed with classic burger toppings. It's a fun twist on taco night and burger night all in one!
Then place the meat on a tortilla and spread it into a thin layer. (sprinkle with salt and pepper if you'd like).
8 flour tortillas
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
Place one of the tortillas beef side down in the heated pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink.
Flip the tortilla over and took for about 30 seconds on that side to brown slightly.
Remove from the pan and place a slice of cheese on the beef side
8 slices American cheese
Repeat with the other tortillas.
Top each taco with lettuce, onion, pickles and drizzle with dressing.
2 cup iceberg lettuce, ½ cup onion, ½ cup thousand island dressing, Pickle slices
Fold like a taco and enjoy!
Notes
Swap the ground beef for ground chicken or ground turkey meat.
Season the meat with any favorite spices like garlic powder, onion powder, montreal seasoning.
Instead of making them Big Mac style, swap the thousand island dressing for ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.
Use any favorite burger toppings like sautéed mushrooms and onions, diced tomatoes, avocado, diced jalapeños.
Use any kind of cheese. Cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, Monterey jack, Pepper jack are all wonderful too.
Use low carb tortillas if you'd like.Store leftovers in an airtight container without the toppings.
Freeze for up to 2 months in a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in a warm skillet until heated through.
Reheat in a skillet until heated through for best crispy results. You can also reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
