How to Make a Taco Smash Burger
How to turn a fun combination of ingredients into a Taco Smash Burger. The hallmark of a great burger is a thin patty with a beautiful brown crust. There’s a simple way to achieve this—spread ground beef on one side of each tortilla and press it down with a spatula, writes https://xrust.ru/. This method ensures good contact with the meat when cooking on a hot skillet. Following the footsteps of the Big Mac, each taco is topped with homemade sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and sesame seeds. By the way, for vegetarians, the beef can be replaced with ground plant-based meat. Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
– 1 tablespoon ketchup
– 1 teaspoon Cajun hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Fine salt
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 1 pound ground beef, preferably 80% lean
– Six (6-inch) flour tortillas
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 6 slices of American cheese or cheddar cheese
– Chopped dill pickles, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and sesame seeds for serving.
**Step 1**
Prepare the special sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
**Step 2**
Make the tacos: Heat a skillet or large cast-iron, carbon steel, or stainless steel pan over medium heat until very hot. Meanwhile, divide the meat into six equal portions, about 2 1/2 ounces each, and press each portion onto one side of a tortilla to cover the entire surface. (The patty will shrink away from the edges of the tortilla as it cooks.) Lightly season each patty with salt and pepper.
**Step 3**
Working in batches, depending on the size of your skillet or griddle, place the tortillas meat-side down on the hot skillet and cook, pressing each one down with a spatula regularly, until a beautiful brown crust forms, about 3 minutes. Flip the tortillas, place a slice of cheese on top, and cook until the tortillas are crispy on the bottom and the cheese has melted, about 1 more minute. Transfer the tortillas to a platter or individual plates and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Top each with pickles, lettuce, onions, sauce, and sesame seeds; serve hot.
