Taco Ingredients

Smashed Burger Sauce

Method

Preparing the Smashed Burger

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and use a spatula to smash it down into the skillet. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and crispy at the edges.

  3. 3

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the beef patty and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Making the Smashed Burger Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the smashed burger on each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Add Condiments

    Drizzle the smashed burger sauce over the toppings. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.
