Taco Components

1000 Island Dressing

Method

Preparation of 1000 Island Dressing

  1. 1

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined. Set aside.

Cooking the Smash Burger Tacos

  1. 2

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (about 4 ounces each). Roll each portion into a loose ball.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls on the skillet. Using a sturdy spatula, smash each ball down to form a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are browned.

  3. 4

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  4. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  5. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a cheesy smash burger patty on each warm tortilla. Top with sliced pickles, shredded lettuce, and drizzle generously with the prepared 1000 Island dressing.

  6. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Smash Burger Tacos!
