Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Smash Burger Tacos

Start by gathering your ingredients to create your Smash Burger Tacos. Portion the ground beef into four equal amounts, ensuring they are shaped into round patties. Prepare your tortillas by laying them out, and get your cheese, burger sauce, and desired toppings ready.
Take each beef patty and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place one seasoned patty onto a tortilla, pressing it down slightly to ensure it adheres.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. When the oil is shimmering, lay the tortilla with the beef patty in the skillet, meat side down. Use a spatula to apply light pressure and cook for 2-3 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
Carefully flip the tortilla to the other side. Place a slice of cheese on top of the cooked patty and continue cooking for 1-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove the taco from the skillet and repeat the process for each remaining tortilla and patty. Spread burger sauce over the melted cheese and layer in fresh toppings.
Your Smash Burger Tacos are now ready to enjoy! Serve them hot right off the skillet.
