## How to Make Smash Burger Tacos
Get ready to embark on this taco adventure. We’ll guide you step-by-step on how to whip up four servings of Smash Burger Tacos in just under thirty minutes.
## Ingredients :
– 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 small flour tortillas
– 4 slices cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup diced onions
– Pickle slices
– Burger sauce or mayonnaise
– Oil for cooking
## Directions :
1. Warm your tortillas in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Heat both sides until they are crispy to your liking and set them aside.
2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. In a hot pan with a bit of oil, drop a portion of your seasoned beef and smash it down with a spatula to form a thin patty. Cook this up for about two minutes or until the edges start to crisp up.
3. Flip your patty over, put a slice of cheese on top and let it cook until the cheese melts. Repeat this for the remaining patties.
4. To assemble your tacos, spread some burger sauce or mayonnaise on each tortilla. Then place a cheese-topped patty on the tortilla, along with some shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions and pickle slices to taste.
5. Fold your tortillas and serve immediately. This pairs perfectly with a refreshing beverage on the side. Enjoy!
