Smash Burger Tacos
The viral TikTok hybrid — a smash burger patty cooked directly into a flour tortilla, creating a crispy-edged burger patty fused to a flour tortilla that serves as both bun and vessel. Topped with shredded lettuce, American cheese, diced onion, pickles and a burger sauce. The crispiest, most satisfying burger taco possible.

Ingredients
Method
Mix burger sauce: combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle brine and garlic powder.
About 5 min
Heat a cast-iron pan or griddle to maximum heat.
About 14 min
Place a flour tortilla flat in the hot pan. Immediately place a beef ball in the centre of the tortilla. Using a heavy spatula or burger press, smash down hard — pressing the beef flat and into the tortilla.
About 14 min
Season with salt and pepper. Cook 1.5–2 minutes. Flip the entire tortilla-burger together. Add cheese slices; cook 1 more minute until the cheese melts and the tortilla edges are crispy.
About 14 min
Serve the burger taco crispy-side up. Add burger sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onion and pickles. The crispy edges are the whole point.
