Description
Juicy, crispy beef smash burger tacos wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with melty cheese and fresh veggies for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 taco-sized tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
- Ketchup and mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Prepare tortillas and toppings for quick assembly.
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and roll each into loose balls. Season with salt and pepper just before cooking.
- Place beef balls in the hot skillet and flatten them with a spatula to form thin patties. Cook for 2–3 minutes until browned, flip, and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Add cheese in the last 30 seconds.
- Warm tortillas in a separate pan for about 30 seconds per side until pliable. Assemble tacos with a beef patty on each tortilla and top with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cheese.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Keep toppings cool and crisp to avoid sogginess.
