Smash Burger Tacos follows a very simple recipe that requires only three steps. For the perfect Smash Burger Tacos, one will be needing the following ingredients:

• Mayonnaise - 1/4 cup
• Ketchup - 1/4 cup
• Mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Hot sauce or Greek Yogurt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground beef - 1 lb
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Ground black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Tortillas of 6 inches each - 4 pieces
• Slice cheese - 4 pieces
• Shredded lettuce - 1 cup
• Diced onion - As required

First, combine the mayo, ketchup, mustard, spicy sauce, and Greek yogurt in a small bowl. One can choose any toppings they want to put on their tacos as well. The typical toppings include homemade burger sauce, pickles, and shredded lettuce. Turn the heat to medium-high on a griddle.

The next step is to arrange the meat, which has been cut into four loose bits, in mounds on the hot griddle. Next, add salt and pepper evenly. Let it cook for two minutes. Then, arrange the tortillas on a flat surface. Each tortilla should have ground beef on it. Now, press the meat firmly into place so that it covers the tortilla in a thin layer. Rub some cooking oil on the beef's surface and season it once more with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of choice.

The final step involves placing the beef side down on a heated griddle and cooking it for 2 to 4 minutes. After flipping the taco, top it with a slice of preferred cheese. In order to get the cheese extra melted, add a tiny splash of water to the pan and cover it for 30 seconds. Top it with lettuce and onions when the cheese has melted and the tortilla has browned. Finally, add sauce, take off the griddle, fold it in half like a taco, and serve.
