Smash Burger Crunchy Tacos

Ingredients

For the Burger Filling

• 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 8 small low-carb or corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 small tomato, diced
• Pickles, sliced (optional)

For the Burger Sauce

• ¼ cup Greek yogurt or light mayo
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 tbsp pickle juice
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions

1. Mix ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place a thin layer of beef directly onto each tortilla and press it firmly so the meat sticks to the tortilla.
3. Place the tortilla beef-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the beef gets a crispy smash-burger crust.
4. Flip the taco, add shredded cheddar cheese, and cook another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes crunchy.
5. Mix all burger sauce ingredients together until smooth.
6. Top each crunchy taco with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and burger sauce.
7. Serve warm and enjoy a crispy taco with classic smash burger flavor.
