How do you make smash burger tacos?

To make smash burger tacos, press a small ball of seasoned ground beef onto a tortilla in a hot skillet. Smash it flat so the beef sticks to the tortilla. Cook until crispy, flip, add cheese, and melt. Top with lettuce, pickles, and sauce. This method makes every bite of your smash burger taco crispy, juicy, and loaded with flavor.

How long do you cook smash burger tacos?

Cook smash burger tacos for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. The first side crisps the beef onto the tortilla. After flipping, add cheese so it melts into the meat. If you're using a Blackstone or flat-top, the cooking time may be even shorter. Quick searing is what makes smash burger tacos stand out.

How do you make smash burger tacos on a Blackstone?

Heat the Blackstone on high, then place the tortilla and beef ball together. Smash the beef into the tortilla with a firm press. Let it cook 2 minutes, then flip, top with cheese, and cook another minute. Smash burger tacos cook fast on a Blackstone, and the surface adds amazing crust.

What is a smash burger taco?

A smash burger taco is a cross between a burger and a taco. It starts with ground beef smashed onto a tortilla instead of a bun. As it cooks, the beef crisps into the tortilla. The result is a flat, handheld taco with all the juicy flavor of a smash burger and the portability of a taco.
