smash burger tacos

Ingredients  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas taco size
  • 1/2 cup burger sauce
  • 16 slices dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup iceburg lettuce shredded
  • 1/2 white onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp beef tallow

Instructions

  • Form your ground beef into rounded, meatball-shaped patties, 2 ounces each.
  • Heat up a cast iron skillet, or cast iron griddle over medium-high heat. Add your beef tallow and allow it to sizzle.
  • When your pan is nice and hot, add your beef.
  • Immediately place a tortilla on top of the beef patty, and smash it down with a burger press. Allow the meat to cook and form a nice sear, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Scrape and flip the patty (and tortilla) over, and immediately add a slice of the American cheese. Allow it to cook for 30-60 more seconds, making sure not to let the tortilla burn!
  • Remove from the griddle, and add your burger sauce and toppings. Allow it to cool for a minute, then serve and ENJOY!
