Smash Burger Tacos feature crispy, cheesy beef patties on lightly charred flour tortillas with shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickles, and homemade Big Mac sauce. A fun, flavorful twist on classic burgers served taco-style.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper (optional)
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup finely diced white onion
  • Dill pickle slices
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whisk together mayo, sweet pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet and lightly char the flour tortillas on each side. Set aside.
  3. Divide ground beef into 4 balls. Heat cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  4. Place a beef ball on the skillet and press firmly to 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes.
  5. Flip patty and top with American cheese. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges are crispy and cheese melted.
  6. Assemble tacos: spread Big Mac sauce on tortilla, add lettuce, diced onion, pickles, and cheesy smashburger patty. Fold and serve warm.

Notes

  • Smash burgers quickly to achieve crispy caramelized crust; avoid pressing again while cooking.
  • Keep tortillas lightly charred and slightly cooled for easier assembly.
  • Add lettuce and pickles just before serving to keep them crisp.
