Smash burger tacos, Big Mac tacos, or tortilla burgers. A beloved child has many names, and oh my, does it taste good, and they are easy to make. The kids love them, and so do we! If you’ve never served burger tacos before, then read on and see how easy it is to make.
Burger or taco – The best from both worlds
We’re all familiar with TikTok by now, whether you’re an active user or just a bystander. But regardless, every now and then, really good ideas come up that just have to be tried.
Smash Burger Tacos have been one of those “Viral” videos that spread like wildfire across the internet, and there’s a good reason for it. A tortilla with burger fillings, what could go wrong? The kids are crazy about it; they’re certainly crazy about regular burgers too, but there’s something about these that they find fun.
In terms of work, it’s pretty much the same as making regular burgers. For us, it’s usually Friday or weekend food, so we sit down and enjoy Taco burgers while watching a good movie and having a nice time.
I’m a fan! There’s not much more to say about it, except that if you haven’t served them at home for your family, then it’s time to get started, and remember to make some crispy fries to go with them.
Ingredient notes
Ground beef – Ground beef, preferably with a little fat for flavor.
Tortillas – These are the small tortillas, either wheat or corn.
Iceberg lettuce – In thin strips or diced.
Cucumber salad – Plain danish cucumber salad, either homemade or a store-bought version.
Cheese – Cheddar or another cheese suitable for burgers.
Burger dressing – I would make my own burger dressing, but you can also buy pre-made burger dressings that taste just fine. (Heinz) makes a really good one.
How to make smash burger tacos?
Here’s a brief description of how to make the best homemade taco burgers.
Shape the ground beef into small balls, place them on the small tortillas, flatten them with your hand, and season with salt and pepper. Fry them in a bit of oil in a pan with the meat side down, then flip them and briefly fry on the other side. When flipping, place a slice of cheese on the cooked meat.
Once they’re all cooked, add cucumber salad, followed by iceberg lettuce and burger dressing.
Serve them immediately, possibly with some crispy french fries.
