Ingredients

For the Tacos:
🥩 1 pound ground beef (88% lean / 12% fat)
🧂 Salt
🌶️ Black Pepper
🌮 6 small tortillas
🧀 6 slices American cheese
🧅 Finely chopped onions (for topping)
🥒 Pickles (for topping)
🥬 Shredded lettuce (for topping)
For the Sauce:
🥄 1 cup mayonnaise
🍅 1/4 cup ketchup
🍯 2 tablespoons mustard
🥄 1 heaping tablespoon sweet relish
🥒 1/4 cup pickle juice

Instructions

1- Prepare the Sauce:

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, and pickle juice.
Mix until well combined and set aside.

2- Portion the Beef:

Divide the ground beef into small, golf ball-sized portions.
This helps ensure even cooking and perfect patty size for the tortillas.

3- Cook the Smash Burger Tacos:

Preheat a nonstick skillet on high heat.
Place a beef ball in the center of the skillet, seasoning it with salt and pepper.
Place a tortilla on top of the beef ball. Using another pan or a burger press, smash the beef down firmly onto the tortilla, ensuring it's flattened thin.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is crisp.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the tortilla and burger over.
Place a slice of American cheese on top of the patty. Allow the cheese to melt completely.
Remove the taco from the skillet once the cheese melts, and repeat the process for the remaining beef portions.

4- Assemble and Serve:

Top each taco with your favorite toppings: chopped onions, pickles, shredded lettuce, and the prepared sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
