Description
A fusion of diner-style smash burgers and handheld tacos for a quick, delicious meal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayo
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dill pickles (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pickle juice
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 flour tortillas (street taco size)
- Shredded lettuce
- Burger pickles
- Bacon (optional)
- Thin-sliced white onions (optional)
Instructions
- Make the burger sauce. Add all burger sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Stir until smooth and evenly combined. Set aside.
- Prep the burger balls. In a bowl, add the ground beef, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix just until combined. Divide into 6 equal balls.
- Get toppings ready. Lay out tortillas and cheese. Prep lettuce and pickles.
- Preheat the griddle. Heat your flat top to medium-high.
- Smash the patties. Place beef balls on the hot griddle and press until very thin—about 15–20 seconds per patty.
- Flip each patty and immediately place a slice of American cheese on each. At the same time, place tortillas on the griddle to toast. Cook about 2 minutes.
- Flip tortillas and assemble. Place each cheesy patty on a toasted tortilla.
- Finish the tacos. Top with shredded lettuce, burger pickles, and burger sauce.
