Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Smash Burger Press
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef divided into 6 portions, ~2.5 oz each
- 6 6-inch flour tortillas
- Taco seasoning of choice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 diced tomato
- Salsa store-bought or homemade
- Sour cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to 475–500°F and drizzle down avocado oil.
- Place the ground beef balls (about 2.5 oz each) on the griddle.
- Sprinkle lightly with taco seasoning.
- Place a tortilla directly on top of each beef ball, then smash down with a burger press or spatula until thin.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, until the beef is mostly cooked through.
- Carefully lift the tortilla to check doneness, then scrape under the beef with a beveled-edge spatula and flip.
- Reduce heat to low and cook another 2–3 minutes, letting the tortilla crisp in the beef fat.
- Sprinkle with a little more taco seasoning and top with shredded cheese.
- Remove from the griddle and add toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomato, salsa, and sour cream if desired.
