Smash Burger Tacos combine the crispy, juicy smash burger with the flavors of a Big Mac, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. With melty American cheese, homemade Big Mac sauce, and fresh toppings, these tacos are a delicious twist on classic comfort food.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef 80/20

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 slices American cheese

1 cup mayo

¼ cup sweet pickle relish

2 tbsp yellow mustard

1 tsp white vinegar

1¼ tsp paprika

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

⅛ tsp white pepper (optional)

4 medium flour tortillas

½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce

¼ cup finely diced white onion

Dill pickle slices

Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a flour tortilla in the dry skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly charred and puffed in spots. Set aside and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  3. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal balls (about 4 oz each). Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Place a beef ball on the skillet and press down firmly with a spatula (use parchment paper to prevent sticking). Smash the patty thin, about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and top with a slice of American cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted.
  5. Spread a generous layer of Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Add shredded lettuce, diced onion, and pickle slices.
  6. Place a cheesy smashburger patty on top of each tortilla and fold like a taco or wrap for a sandwich-style bite.
  7. Serve warm with extra Big Mac sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

The Big Mac sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For crispy burger edges, press the patty firmly on the skillet.

If you prefer smaller portions, you can make mini smash burgers for sliders or appetizers.

To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them up and slightly char them before assembling.

Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option, although they may have a different texture.
