How to Make Taco Smash Burgers
How to turn a fun combination of ingredients into Taco Smash Burgers. 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 trick ensures good contact between the meat and the hot skillet during cooking. Taking inspiration from 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 substituted with plant-based ground meat.
**Ingredients:**
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
– 1 tablespoon ketchup
– 1 teaspoon Cajun-style hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Fine salt
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 1 pound ground beef, ideally 80% lean
– Six (6-inch) flour tortillas
– Freshly ground black pepper
– 6 slices American cheese or cheddar cheese
– Sliced dill pickles, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and sesame seeds for serving
**Step 1:**
Prepare the special sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
**Step 2:**
Prepare 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 tortilla edges 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 onto the hot skillet and cook, pressing each one down regularly with a spatula, 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 taco with pickles, lettuce, onions, sauce, and sesame seeds; serve hot.
