Smash Burger Tacos

Ingredients

• 8 oz Ground Beef (80/20 lean‑to‑fat ratio, divided into two equal balls)
• 2 pieces Small Flour Tortillas (6‑inch diameter, preferably soft and pliable)
• 2 slices Low‑Fat Processed Cheese (Individually wrapped, melts quickly)
• 2 Tbsp Burger Sauce (Store‑bought or homemade (mix mayo, ketchup, mustard))

Instructions

1. Shape the beef

   Divide the 8 oz of ground beef into two equal balls. Place each ball on a small flour tortilla and press down firmly with your hand or a spatula until the meat is flattened to the edges of the tortilla, forming a thin patty.

   Time: PT2M

2. Pre‑heat the skillet

   Place the skillet over high heat and let it become very hot – you should see a slight shimmer on the surface.

   Time: PT1M

3. Cook the first patty

   Slide the first flattened patty (still on its tortilla) into the hot skillet. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the edges turn a deep brown and the meat looks cooked through.

   Time: PT4M

4. Flip and add cheese

   Using the spatula, flip the patty‑tortilla combo. Immediately place one slice of low‑fat cheese on top of the meat and let it melt, about 30 seconds.

   Time: PT1M

5. Remove and set aside

   Transfer the cooked taco to a plate. Repeat steps 1‑4 for the second patty.

   Time: PT2M

6. Add sauce and fold

   Spread 1 Tbsp of burger sauce onto each tortilla, place the cooked patty inside, then fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape.

   Time: PT1M

7. Serve

   Plate the two smash‑burger tacos and enjoy immediately while hot.

   Time: PT0M
