Smash Burger Tacos

Smash Burger Tacos: The Best of Both Worlds on a Griddle

 If you’ve ever been torn between craving a juicy smash burger and the irresistible flavor of a street taco, good news — you don’t have to choose. Welcome to the sizzling fusion you didn’t know you needed: Smash Burger Tacos. Made right on the griddle, these flavor-packed creations combine the crispy, caramelized edges of a smash burger with the handheld goodness of a taco. Whether you're firing up the griddle for a weeknight dinner or hosting a weekend cookout, this recipe is guaranteed to steal the show — and maybe even start a new family tradition.


Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 2 lbs lean ground hamburger (90/10 is best)
  • 2 Jimmy Dean Sausage (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped tomato
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion 
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 
  • salsa
  • 2 quartered lime 
  • 1 spoon Sour cream
  • 1 avacado 

That's the basic ingredients but please feel free to include your favorites. Choose your meat between ground hamburger or Jimmy Dean which is a little more flavorful. Serve 4

  1. Roll the meat in small balls. Do not kneed the meat a lot, just roll it in a ball.
  2. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the whole tortilla first.
  3. Smash the meat over on to the tortilla over the cheese almost to the edge . This helps the meat to stay on the tortilla when cooking
  4. Season the meat as you like. I use seasoned salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. 
  5. Have the griddle fired up and ready to medium with your favorite oil or bacon fat.
  6. Drop the tortillas on the griddle meat side down and cook for about 5 minutes or until done.
  7. Flip to meat side up for about 5 minutes allowing the tortilla to crisp up.
  8. Remove from the griddle and dress with the chopped ingredients. 
  9. Top off with salsa a more shredded cheese.
  10.  Squeeze fresh lime juice over the whole thing.
  11. Top off the top with a spoon of sour cream.
  12. Add some avocado slices all around too! 

Serve hot and fresh! Enjoy...
