Smash Burger Tacos

6 servings

Ingredients

Burger sauce:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sweet relish
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (add more for a bigger kick)

Tacos:

  • 1 lbs ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 5inch flour tortillas
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 slices Cracker Barrel medium cheddar slices
  • 18 thin bread and butter pickles
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • ¼ cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seed

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the burger sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. In a separate bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 6 equal portions.
  3. Top each tortilla with a portion of beef. Use a fork to flatten the beef into an even layer, leaving a ¼-inch border around the edges.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once just below the smoking point, place 2 tacos beef-side down in the skillet. Press down firmly with a spatula or burger press.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Flip the tacos and top each with a slice of cheese.
  6. Transfer cooked tacos to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  7. Top each taco burger with sauce, pickles, lettuce, onion, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
