Ingredients
  

For the Smashed Cheeseburger
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

  • 4 small taco-sized flour tortillas
For the Toppings

Method
 

Prepare the Beef
  1. In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal balls.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef balls and smash them down with a spatula to form patties.
Cook the Patties
  1. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  2. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Assemble the Tacos
  1. Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  2. Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on each tortilla.
  3. Place a cheeseburger patty on each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, pickles, and onions.
  4. Fold the tortillas over the fillings and serve immediately.
