These viral sensations are turning the internet upside down, and for once, this is NOT all hype. Our version of the Smash Burger Taco is a play on a Big Mac, and we couldn't be happier about it.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 80/20 Ground Sirloin or Chuck
  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 24 slices dill pickles
  • 3 tablespoons thousand island dressing

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Divide your burger into 6 equally sized balls.

  3. 3

    Smash each ball with a large spatula or a burger smasher until it is about 1/4" thick.

  4. 4

    Let the burger develop a nice crust on the bottom. Season the top with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Flip the burger and immediately put a tortilla on top of the cooked side of the burger.

  5. 5

    Put the onions down on the griddle and let them cook in the burger grease. Flip occasionally and let them brown.

  6. 6

    Let the other side of the burger develop a crust. Flip the whole thing over, and let the tortilla crisp on the griddle surface. Add cheese on top and cover. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

  7. 7

    Top each "taco" with your lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, and thousand island dressing.

  8. 8

    Enjoy!
