Ingredients
  

Burger Sauce / Big Mac Sauce
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Tacos
  • 4 Flour tortillas 6 inches in size
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil vegetable, canola, or avocado
  • 4 slices American Cheese or your preferred cheese
  • 1 small onion diced
  • Dill pickle chips
  • shredded iceberg lettuce

Equipment

  • Skillet or Griddle

Method
 

  1. Begin by portioning the ground beef into 4 equal amounts.
  2. Place a tortilla on your work surface and evenly spread one portion of ground beef over its entire surface, ensuring coverage.
  3. Season the upper side of the ground beef with a good amount of salt and pepper to suit your taste.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-high heat and lightly coat the cooking surface with oil.
  5. Gently lay the tortilla with the meat-side down onto the heated surface, applying slight pressure with a spatula for a brief moment to form a thin patty.
  6. Allow the patty to cook for approximately 2 - 3 minutes, until a delightful golden-brown crust forms. At this point, flip the patty and crown it with a slice of cheese.
  7. Continue the cooking process for an additional 1 - 3 minutes, depending on your desired level of tortilla crispness. Exercise caution to avoid any charring.
  8. Remove the smash taco burger from the heat.
  9. Repeat the cooking process for each taco.
  10. Assemble the smash taco burgers adding the burger sauce, lettuce, onions, and pickles.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
