Can I use flour tortillas and corn tortillas?

Yes, you can use both flour tortillas and corn tortillas in this recipe. However, I do believe that flour tortillas are the better option. The ground beef will stick to them more and they will mimic hamburger buns more closely than corn tortillas will.

Will the tortillas get soggy?

It is entirely possible that the tortillas will get soggy because of the oil and juice from the beef, but I find if cooked properly it is not an issue. When the burger taco is flipped so the tortilla side is down, the hot surface of the pan will help it get nice and crispy. Additionally, there are only 2 oz of ground beef per tortilla in this recipe which is a perfect amount. It won't overpower the tortilla or produce too much oil, which is what could make your tortilla soggy.

How will I know when the meat is done cooking?

The meat cooks perfectly in the instructed time of 2-3 minutes! Since it is such a thin layer of ground beef being cooked on a searing hot pan, it really will not take long at all.

Can I make this smash burger taco recipe without a burger press?

Absolutely! In fact, I make them without one. A burger press can pretty much be replaced with any heavy object. I like to use another skillet or pan. Additionally, this recipe calls for spreading the raw ground beef right onto the tortilla which is a step that is very useful if you don't have a burger press. In a classic smash burger, the burger press is what does the smashing. But here we're kinda skipping the smashing and just pressing the beef into a thin, smashed layer with our fingers.

Can I store leftover smash tacos?

These tacos are not the most ideal recipe to store. They are absolutely best enjoyed hot and fresh off the griddle! The beef will be crisp and caramelized and the cheese wonderfully melted. However, if you do have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep best for 2-3 days. I would recommend re-heating in a hot pan on the stove!

Ingredients

Scale

Burger Tacos

1 lb ground beef
8 tortillas, flour
8 slices of cheese
Salt
Black pepper

Big Mac Special Sauce

1/4 cup mayo
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp dill pickle juice
1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
1/2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Toppings

Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Tomato, chopped
Dill pickles

Instructions

First prepare the special sauce. In a small bowl combine the mayo, ketchup, pickle juice, yellow mustard, and relish. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Optional: You can also add garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside.
Next divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. They should be 2 oz each. Gently press one portion of the raw beef into each of the tortillas with your fingers. It should be completely flattened, or smashed into the tortilla. Season with salt and black pepper.
Next heat up a large skillet or griddle, over medium-high heat. Add the tacos, ground beef side down, to the hot surface. The number of tacos you can cook at once will depend on the size of your pan / griddle. Press down on the tortilla side with another pan or skillet, burger press, or any heavy object and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Next flip the taco burgers and place a slice of cheese on top of the beef patty. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt. Remove from the heat.
Add the burger sauce, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and dill pickle slices to the tacos.
Serve and enjoy!
