Smash Burger Tacos

Ingredients

Burgers

• 1 pound ground beef

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Six-inch flour tortillas

• Shredded lettuce and dill pickle chips for topping

Burger Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonaise

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon mustard

• 2 tablespoons minced bread & butter pickles

• 1 tablespoon pickle brine

• 10 cracks fresh black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions 

1. Add all burger sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Divide and roll your beef into 70-75 gram balls. Less handling is better. Season balls with salt and pepper.

3. Turn your flat top onto high heat, ungreased.

4. Place each ball on the hot flat top and set a 6 inch tortilla on top.

5. Use your smashing tool to press down very firmly on top of each tortilla, smashing the meat until it is as thin as it goes. Let them cook for 1 minute, then press down on top of each tortilla again, which will get some of the fat out for the edges to cook in. Then let cook disturbed for 2 to 3 minutes. 

6. Use a stiff steel spatula to scrape underneath one of the burgers and see if it is browned and crispy. Once browned and crisp, flip smash burger tacos onto their tortilla side and let cook another 2 minutes so the tortilla can crisp up. 

7. Remove and add burger sauce and toppings. Fold into a taco shape and enjoy!
