Ingredients
Scale
Burger Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 (6-inch) flourtortillas
- 6 slices of regular or white American cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil for cooking
- Chopped lettuce for topping
- Sliced tomato for topping
- Pickles for topping
- Sliced red onions for topping
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons sweet relish
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Divide the ground beef into six equal-sized balls (2.5-3 ounces each) and place one on each tortilla.
- Season each ball with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the balls while you make the sauce.
- To make the smash burger sauce, add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well combined. Store in the fridge in a small bowl or a squeeze bottle.
- Place a ball of the meat mixture on the hot skillet or griddle, with a tortilla centered on top. Press down firmly with a hamburger press or large spatula until the beef patty is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook for about two minutes. Reduce to medium heat if the edges of the tortilla begin to burn.
- Flip the tortilla over and cook the opposite tortilla side for about one minute, or until the meat is cooked through. These cook quickly because they are so thin, so watch the tortilla to keep from burning it.
- Transfer the burger to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and immediately place a slice of cheese on the hot burger to melt.
- Repeat steps 5-7 until all the burgers are prepared.
- Top each thin patty with your favorite toppings; I recommend lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes.
- Drizzle the homemade burger sauce generously over each taco burger and serve immediately.
